Today we'll be simulating life under the reign of Louis XVI.  You will receive 6 points for being a willing participant in this simulation (2 point each day). If you don't follow rules and stay engaged in the simulation you will lose these point.

There are five basic rules for the simulation:

• Be on time
• Follow directions of the Role Cards
• (Also please treat these cards carefully since they are a part of my classroom set and thus are used all day)
• Commit to the simulation
• (Be “in character”)
• (Respect the process and give it a try)
• Help reorganize and cleanup the classroom 
• Hannan makes the final decision

If you get to class early follow this link to see some 360 Panoramic images.

How did we do?

Hopefully everyone had a great 3 day weekend. Today in class we'll be processing and evaluating our interviews from last week.

Start by opening a pages document titled "enlightenment interview reflections". Your tasks for the first 30 minutes of class is to answer the following questions (the questions are broken up into three different categories, content, process, & evaluation):

Content
-Explain who your enlightened enlightener was and what made him or her famous. (Just 2 or 3 sentences.)
-Based on the interview, which new idea or theory seems to be the most important from the enlighteners (why?)
-Based on the enlighteners contributions to the world, how is the way society thinks changing?

Process
-Which parts of the interview/resume seemed realistic?
-Which parts of the interview/resume seemed unrealistic?
-After this project do you feel more able to create a resume and interview for a job? (Why?)
-What suggestions would you give to next years class on doing this assignment well (or what would you do differently if you could go back in time to do this assignment better)?
-What suggestions would you give to next Mr. Hannan to make this assignment even better?

Evaluation
-Explain how you think the class as a whole did at role playing/acting as a famous person from the enlightenment. Also rate the class on a scale of 1-10 (10 being perfect and 1 being very poorly).
-Explain how you think your group did at role playing/acting as a famous person from the enlightenment. Also rate your group on a scale of 1-10 (10 being perfect and 1 being very poorly).
-Explain how your resume went. Also rate your resume on a scale of 1-10 (10 being perfect and 1 being very poorly).
-Taking the whole project together how do you personally think you did? What grade do you think your deserve and why?
-Taking the whole project together what grade would you give your group members and why?

Interview Day

We'll be conducting our interviews in the media center. You have ten minutes to organize your team for the interview. When we walk down to the media center we must stay quiet in the hall and as we walk down the stairs. GL!


Make sure you have:
- Your professional name tag.
- Your resume and/or notes (I printed those in my dropbox already). Nobody will be using their computers during the interview.
- Spend the rest of the prep. time practicing your answers. (Resume builders asking the actor or actress questions from yesterday's list).

Interview Questions

Above are questions that might be asked in the most Enlightened Enlightener of the Enlightenment interview. Spend sometime today in class and tonight at home practicing your answers. The group members in charge of the resume should help the candidate formulate some answers and practice. 

For tomorrow:

- Any resumes in my dropbox by 8:30 will be printed and brought to class so the candidate can look at the resume during the interview.

- Candidate can use one piece of paper or notecard in addition to the resume. Student should not be reading from the notes just glancing at them in for ideas. 

- Don't forget your candidate's name tag and to impress. 

- Non-candidates (the rest of the class) will be completing an evaluation of the candidates during the interview, like a fishbowl discussion.

Water Glasses

Any idea what are these images trying to tell you? Well glass on the left represents right now and the glass on the left is at the end of the hour. Your goal for today is to finish the 90% of the resumes and research so you can practice tomorrow. The interviews are being conducted the day after tomorrow (Thursday for core 1 & Friday for core 5). There will be a couple outside guests to conduct our interviews and we'll be recording (audio) of the whole event.

*There is no quiz this week so you homework is to make these interviews AWESOME.

Enlightened

Open up a new pages document and save it as "enlightenment". Start by brainstorming people you think of as enlightened. If you aren't certain what enlightened or enlighten means the definition is the image to the left and below are some synonyms:  informed, well-informed, aware, sophisticated, advanced, developed, liberal, open-minded, broad-minded, educated, knowledgeable, wise; civilized, refined, cultured, cultivated. Enlightened people don’t punch out people who think differently.
