4. French Salons
French women in the 1700s began to invite educated guests into their homes for witty and intelligent conversations. These meetings in drawing rooms, or salons, became one of the ways the ideas of the Enlightenment spread. Guests often discussed the leading thinkers and writers of the time and added their own witty interpretations.
Remember that this was long before TV, internet, or radio. Having people in your home for conversation would have been a form of entertainment.

5. Salon Video: Model Example

6. Salon Rules
Each person would strive to be the most interesting conversationalist, so the conversation was a kind of contest!
Rules
One did not speak of oneself
One did not ask personal questions or try to embarrass others
Everyone was expected to act as a lady or gentleman

8. Our Salon Don't raise hands; take turns speaking.
Listen carefully. Build off of what others say.
Speak up so that all can hear you.
Talk to each other, not just to the leader or teacher. Make eye contact.
Each person must contribute at least 3 times in order to receive full credit.

9. Salon Activity I will divide you into groups of 8
I will choose a host or hostess for each salon who will begin the discussion and move on to the next topic when necessary.
DO NOT BE A CONVERSATIONAL BULLDOZER! Actively listen to what other people have to say and encourage everyone to participate!

10. Topics for Salon Discussion
The host will introduce each topic and discussion will follow.
Be sure to use examples to support your thinking!

11. Time for the Salon

12. After Salon
Evaluate your performance using the rubric on the back of your paper.
Circle the statements in each row that best describe your performance.

13. Letter
One of the ways the salon ideas were communicated beyond those in attendance was through the use of letters. Sometimes after a salon, a participant would write a letter to a friend or relative letting them know what new ideas they were exposed to at the salon.
On a separate sheet of paper, you will write a letter to a friend sharing one idea and your opinion about it. Use the checklist as guide for your writing. DUE TOMORROW!
