This thorough packet on the Age of Enlightenment in Europe is a perfect unit guide to help students understand all of the key concepts, Enlightenment thinkers, and events they need to know about this era in World History.

The 9-page independent work packet includes engaging pages on all every aspect of the Enlightenment for your World History classroom. There's also standards-based Essential Questions to guide your whole unit!

It starts off with a short overview reading on this era in history, followed by the standards-based essential questions. Then, pages are dedicated to each of the following:

• Vocabulary
• Geography
• People to know
• A Timeline of the Era
• Key Concepts
• Visual Literacy

Content covered include the Enlightenment thinkers Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, etc, Enlightened Despots, the Age of Reason, Scientific Revolution, and more.

There are engaging analysis questions throughout the packet so that students are not just copying information, but thinking about the key concepts. Pages feature primary source excerpts and quotes, images for students to analyze, a map activity to improve geography skills, a timeline, and more. The resource can be split up and used as worksheets or as a complete packet!

Also included is an editable Google Docs version of the entire packet. This version features links to great online sources and is perfect for those of you who have gone paperless or use Google Classroom. A link to online readings to use with the printed version is included as well!
