3. Email the Class Preparation Sheet to Sis. Bird and Sis. Shupe by the Tuesday before class. I would like them by noon, but I would allow them until 8 p.m. If I do not receive an email from you, then you will not be joining us for class.
Inspirements:
Pick one of the following to turn in (REMEMBER: PREZIS AND SKITS ARE OKAY FOR APPRENTICE BUT NOT, I REPEAT NOT, ALLOWED FOR JOURNEYMAN OR MASTER):
- Read one of these chapters from The Struggle For Sea Power: James Bruce and the Nile, The Trial of Warren Hastings, or Napoleon Bonaparte. Also, do additional research to share with the class. You can write a paper, write a story, or do an in-person presentation in class (no prezis) to teach us about what you've learned. I would love to see you be creative and show us more about the culture of India or the geography of James Bruce's trip up the Nile, or whatever you find interesting in those chapters.
- Research more about one of the people you learned about and present what you learned to the class. Your presentation should also include something written to turn in. Some examples of people would be: Marie Antoinette, Lafayette, Robespierre, Mirabeau, or King Louis.
- Research the form of government that France was under before and after their Revolution. Go into detail about how each worked or didn't work for each class of the French people.
- Find more about the French Revolution and find a way to share what you've learned: a paper, chart, presentation (in person), etc.
- Research the Women's March on Versailles. Share what you found out with us.
- Research the guillotine. Share with us. I would expect some sort of visual with this one. Anyone who builds a model gets a treat!
