Monday

1. We finished up looking at the French Revolution slide show. We took notes on a "place mat" by using the boxes as follows : top left = reasons why you believe a revolution took place in France; top right box = reasons the slide show gives for the FR; bottom left box = 3 Estates; bottom right box put thoughts and actions related to the revolution - for example: things individual citizens might have been feeling, or doing, ideas or movements that were beginning to form in groups of people, changes in the society and the system/government. If your place mat is full, turn it over and use the other side.
2. During the slide show video about Robespierre: for each 2 minute segment, collect 3 big ideas, share with a partner, view next 2 minutes. At the end of the video work in a group of 4 to come up with a synthesis (pulling it all together) statement about the BIG IDEA presented in the video clip.
