overview of the leason french revolution

ANSWER. ....
For this activity, students will draw parallels between circumstances that led up to the French Revolution, and similar situations that exist in the world today. For each modern similarity, students must assess whether or not the circumstance that they have researched could potentially cause a revolution. The intent of this activity is to wrap-up study of the French Revolution’s opening sequences. More importantly, this lesson will enable students to see history as a tool. History can help individuals see patterns in events over time – these patterns can help us make predictions about future events, based on current conditions.
This activity will require the teacher to help their students in researching “hotspots” around the globe to find pre-revolutionary conditions, similar to those described on the left hand side of the third column in the chart below. A great place to start researching is the Council on Foreign Relations.
In this activity, the teacher will provide a partially filled template of a grid. The teacher-created cells state four conditions that contributed to the French Revolution on the left. The middle column, which will be student-created, will be a synopsis of their research into a situation that resembles the conditions of pre-revolutionary France. The right hand column, also student-created, will be a prediction based on the students’ understanding of the French Revolution (Column One), and their research (Column Two).
The storyboard also functions as a narrative, linking past, present, and future events. The example above links the French Revolution food crisis with Nepal’s political situation and earthquake response.
Extended Activity
A fourth column could be added to this storyboard titled, “Policy Suggestions”. This student-created column would identify policies that would improve the situation in Column Two. Captions for this column would identify the policy, and explain how and why it would work.
