Enlightenment Articles

Hi everyone,
Sorry that you're not seeing this until now - I thought that I had posted it at the beginning of break, but it turns out that I had only saved it but not actually posted it.
...but you should know what your topics are anyways xD

Due: Friday, Jan. 11 (the Friday after our Enlightenment test)

Here are your topics:

Lida - the cosmos, witchcraft has stopped
Liz - narrative of a prisoner
Natalia - salons
Ethan - transcript of masonic lodges
Hannah - quiz; which philosophe are you?
Julie and Jeff - Rousseau
Nathaniel - Adam Smith
Matt - Bubbles
Clare - editorial - against the philosophes
Liz A - Mary Wollstonecraft (sp?)
Warren - religion
Sara - Art
Jeff - Voltaire interview, Rousseau
Sarah - Fashion

Don't make these into boring summaries though - remember, write with a bias, and DO NOT WRITE IN THE PAST TENSE. IF YOUR PREVIOUS ARTICLE IS IN THE PAST TENSE, CHANGE IT. I forgot to mention that to some of you. Just remember, we are supposed to be people that are actually living as these events are happening. For example, wouldn't it be weird if some tabloid had an article in it that was like: During the 21st century, Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant in 2007. Jamie Lynn Spears was the younger sister of Brittany Spears, who had been a famous singer at the time. Etc.
Do you see my point? What we are writing about is going on currently.

One last reminder: IF YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN ME YOUR FINAL DRAFT, I WANT IT. NOW.
