   Madamoiselle de Tully’s Salon – Friday Nov. 16^th
   

Friday Nov. 16^th we will hold our very own salon during AP European History. Our salon will include discussions about popular Enlightenment topics, such as

• 
  The recent discoveries in science and their role in society
  
• 
  The relationship between science and religion – can they truly coexist?
  
• 
  What is the best form of government?
  
• 
  Religion and it’s role in society
  
• 
  Human nature, knowing, and development
  
• 
  Whatever else you can come up with!
  

Every student will be expected to participate in this discussion, and a participation grade of 10 points will be assessed by how much a student participates in the salon and how well they are able to incorporate the material from this chapter into the discussion.
