On Monday Mrs. Brahe shared basic information about the Enlightenment through a PowerPoint presentation. Hopefully one of the people she introduced in the presentation caught your eye and you'd like to choose that person as your "most influential person" for the presentation. See Mrs. Brahe to sign up for the person you'd like to research and present.
