You are to create a PowerPoint presentation that focuses on each of the topics below. You may use as many slides as you need for each of the below topics. Please note: each numbered topic below should contain 200-300 words total for each topic (do not go over the word count per topic). How you want to break up the word count for each topic is up to you. Because this is not an essay, your presentation does not need an introduction, thesis, or conclusion. Images may be used and are appreciated. MOST IMPORTANT: make sure to demonstrate that you have read the assigned literature in the course. Each topic should use a different work. The readings that you may use in this assignment are listed below.
Topic One: Choose one of the assigned readings listed below, and discuss ways in which the work illustrates the Enlightenment era. The word count for this section is 200-300 words TOTAL.

Additional points to remember:
This is a literature course, so assigned literature is the primary focus in the assignment.
Please avoid all secondary sources, especially literary summary sites. This includes Sparknotes, Shmoop, Cliff’s Notes, and Wikipedia.
You may not use any wording from previous essays or forums.
Note that the works cited slide is not included in the word count.
Be sure that your responses to each topic demonstrates analytical thought and are not just statements of simple fact or plot summary.
