 1) What do you know about the Scientific Revolution?
2) What do you think the Age of Enlightenment is about?
These two photos will be projected on the board as well:

The students will be given 3 minutes to think about these questions, and then
another 3 minutes to talk to classmates nearby about what they wrote.
After time is up, we will have a class discussion about each of these questions.
Students will raise their hand to give their answers.
