The Enlightenment ★ World History Stations Activity ★ Print & Go Prep ★

Looking for a fun way to get your students talking, moving, and collaborating? Look no further!

This Station Activity will get your students moving while introducing them to the content that will learn throughout the unit. And the best part…there is no prep work for you! Just print out the lesson and you’re ready to have fun and conduct an engaging lesson with your students.

How the Lesson Works:

★ This lesson is made up of six stations that will allow your students to discuss the following topics:

Station 1 - Basics of the Enlightenment (Article w/Questions)
Station 2 - Two Truths and a Lie (Vocabulary Review)
Station 3 - Influential Ideas (Reviewing five of the main ideas from the time and explaining how they relate to the modern world)
Station 4 - Who, What, When, and Where? (Timeline Creation w/Research)
Station 5 - Monarchs of the Enlightenment (Watching a video about Enlightened Despotism and responding to a writing prompt)
Station 6 - Oh Snap! (Important Figures from the Enlightenment)
★ This activity can be completed by individual students or by teams of students with one answer sheet.

★ The stations are designed to be completed in ten minutes. The entire lesson will take sixty minutes to complete.

★ Many of the stations involve writing opinions rather than facts, so there is not always necessarily a correct or incorrect answer. I’ve included a sample answer sheet to give you an idea of how students can respond to these prompts.

★ This purchase includes the six station cards, supplemental files for three of the stations, a student answer sheet, and a Notes for Teachers document.

★ All files come in a PDF format.

Required Materials:

★ One of the stations requires a device for watching videos on YouTube. Any device with an internet connection will work.
