1. Opener: "What is an absolutist ruler?" -- Stamped RG #19
2. Notes (short) on Absolutism
3. Illustrating Absolutism assignment:
1. Read the article to yourself and take notes on the following:
•Identify and summarize the main aspects of Absolutism:
–What was it?
–Why did it happen?
–Advantages/disadvantages?
–What did it look like in different countries?
2. Show what you know: Create a drawing of an “absolute monarchy”
–Divide your paper into thirds:
a. Draw an "absolute monarch." Have him (or her) explain how/why he rules (basically, explaining absolutism).
b. Draw a noble, and have him/her describe positive and negative reactions of the aristocracy to the absolute monarch (you may want to address changes in role of nobles as Feudalism declined)c. Draw a peasant, and have him/her describe positive and negative reactions of the lower classes to the absolute monarch.
Drawings should be neat and stick figures are fine as long as they are readily recognizable.

what do you mean by 'to the absolute monarch'? Does that mean that the noble and peasant are supposed to be talking to the absolute ruler drawn in the first panel?
"reactions to" means describe how they feel about the absolute monarchy.
Oh, okay thanks Ms. Shea.
