WestCiv Day 36 - French Revolution Debate & Library Research

Note: Due to a 2 hour delay, today's class is shortened.  I'll distribute the final project description & rubric and we'll spend the remainder of class researching in the library.

Objective:  Participate in or observe a debate on the human costs of the French Revolution.  Utilize library resources to prepare for debates.

Task: As you come into class, please get out your computer and check your knowledge of the French Revolution with the "French Revolution & Napoleon" trivia game.  Then, I'll distribute and explain the final project description and rubric.  Next, we'll set up the room for our debate and students participating in the debate should hand in their rubrics.  After the debate, you'll fill out an evaluation form.  Finally, we'll spend the remainder of class in the library researching for the debates and/or begin preparing for the final project.

Homework:
  • Wednesday, 3/20 - Debate #1 - Was the French Revolution worth its human costs?
  • Thursday, 3/21 - Debate #2 - Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant?
  • Friday, 3/22 - Unit 5 Test
  • Tuesday, 3/26 - Debate #3 - As much as it may have contributed to Great Britain’s, and eventually the world’s, material prosperity, the Industrial Revolution, considered from a spiritual, moral, and environmental point of view, was a disaster.
