All Classes: Students just started a new unit on the French Revolution. On Wednesday they watched a short film about the three main causes of the revolution.
Today in class, students will write a short response to the film, "Could the revolution have been avoided or was it inevitable?" After a short discussion on this topic, students watched a powerpoint that explored the Palace at Versailles (Louis XVI's home) during the revolution and then took part in a role play activity that recreated the events at the first calling of the Estates Geneneral by the King.
Homework: Read about the Estates General & the Tennis Court Oath in the textbook. Create a political cartoon that explain the purpose and goal of the Tennis Court Oath.
