FRENCH REVOLUTION POWER POINTS

Use Technical Thompson's Website on the French Revolution Unit for help with Assignments 1-10.

Sketch's Website has French Revolution Vocab help. Thanks Sketch! Gee, thanks for making class for students that much more simple. Students should use Sketch's Vocab help but write down definitions using their own West High vernacular (your own words). Mr. P will NOT give students credit if they copy Sketch's definitions word for word. Also, Sketch was known for pulling off clever tricks like giving the wrong definition at times to make sure students are thinking and NOT just copying definitions. It is best to check Sketch's definitions against other sources.


For students seeking additional reading on the French Revolution, Mr P's Random French Revolution Book Picks for Students are:

a) Stepping in the pool - French Revolution for Beginners by Martin McCrory & Robert Moulder
b) Liking the Shallow End - A Short History of the French Revolution by Jeremy Popkin
c) Into the Deep End - The French Revolution & Napoleonic Era by Owen Connelly

THURSDAY November 11, 2010 - SUNDAY November 14, 2010

Veteran's Day Holiday Weekend

Bored over the long weekend? Check out these French Revolution videos. Email Mr P with any other French Revolution videos you find online.

1) French Revolution Documentary
2) French Revolution silly stuff from History of the World
3) A European pub historian eloquently sums up the French Revolution in under 4 minutes. Pint Size History.
4) French Revolution short student cartoons by Alumni Alison (1-8). Some of these are classic. Still, Mr P has been waiting for years for a student to come along and redo this cartoon concept legacy project and take it to a new level. It is time for the new and improved... and COMPLETE CARTOON FRENCH REVOLUTION! Who is going to do it for a legacy project? Who will leave their legacy?
