There is a BBC program in their[| Heroes and Villains] series on Napoleon which you CAN watch on YouTube but be warned, it's quite graphic and horrific in parts, and deals with Napoleon's major military victory. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WATCH THIS, but if you're interested, it's kind of cool.

Here are the second and third parts of the video summary of the French Revolution we started last class:

Causes of the French Revolution We have already looked at how inequality in the estates, the spread of enlightened ideas, economic problems and weak leadership contributed to the revolutionary mood in France. In conjunction with this, there were a number of specific events which led to the French Revolution.Looking back at our notes, can you say did each of the following events led to the French Revolution? Can you think of others that belong in your "Causes" section for your poster?


 * Famine and inflation?
 * Louis XVI's calling of the Estates-General?
 * The swearing of the Tennis Court Oath?
 * The creation of the General Assembly?
 * The storming of the Bastille?

A short, funny, good summary of what you've learned so far about the French Revolution. Yeah, I wish I was this great a teacher!

The other 9th grade classes (including Ms Dorsett's and Mr. Brayko's classes) will be creating a Wikipedia for the French Revolution. But what makes this wiki unique is that it will be 100% student-created and maintained. This will be used throughout the project for research purposes. Each class will choose a **factor of analysis** to focus their research. A factor of analysis is a "lens" through which we can look at history and to focus on certain things, while other things kind of "fade into the background" for the moment. > > Once the decision has been made, as a class, we will develop a definition of our factor of analysis, choose article topics, and post them to our wiki pages. > > Format: > > First we need to define our factor of analysis: Jae Hyun A. - The Goals of the Revolution Jennifer - World View of the French Revolution Sarah - Fashion in Different Social Classes Danette - Paris Life Sundos - The Revolutionary Class Kaitlyn - The French Aristocracy Sunpyo - The //Sans Culotte// Jack - The Execution of French Aristocrats Amy - The Second Estate Alissa - The First Estate Wonjune - Distribution of Wealth Catherine - Class Conflict Hannah - The French Monarchy Joseph - The 3rd Estate Min - Changes that Resulted from the French Revolution Stella - Employment and Unemployment Eric - French //Emigres// Cindy L. - The Catholic Church Jae Hyun P. - Taxes Joonyon - Education || services and the use and distribution of money to purchase them. || Jason - The Value of French Currency Kate - Inflation in France Kevin - Poverty and the Revolution Lizzie - France's Trading Partners Jane - French Money in the 18th Century Carol - The Causes of Inflation Jin - The Wealth of the Church Vicky - Inflation Before / After the Revolution Chris - Money ant the Ordinary Parisian Justin - The Problems of the French Peasants Daphne - Debt Andres - Trade Commodities Nayeon - French Currency Value Jee - Food Sales Lisa - Distribution of Wealth Annie - Land Ownership Jasmine - The Poor Jessica - Marie Antionette's Wealth Kathryn - The Cost of Bread Ethan - France's Allies Raina - The Wealth of King Louis XVI || which contributed to the French Revolution and explains their actions. || Suji - Changes in Peasant Thinking Philip A. - Peasant Views of Louis XVI Philip B. - Bourgeois Beliefs Jessica - Peasant Women Vivian - Louis XVI's Execution Peter - The People's View of Louis XVI Amy - Marie Antionette Michael - The Jacobins Erin - Democracy Patricia - French Women and the Enlightenment Julie - Philosophe's Views of Louis XVI Patrick - Robespierre Gloria - The Peasant Class Hye Rim - What Peasants Valued Ryan - Louis XVI's Attitudes Cindy - French Newspapers Sam - Criticisms of the Monarchy Soo Jin - Revolutionary Beliefs Diana - Women and the Revolution Linda - Famous French Women Mina - The Third Estate ||

== **The French Revolution**
 * In 1789, a French observer commented upon the success of the American Revolution, saying, "This vast continent which the seas surround will soon change Europe and the universe." France had both financed America's war of independence and sent many French volunteers, like the Marquis de Lafayette, to assist them to drive out the British. They were eager to get revenge on the British, to whom they had lost all their territories in the Caribbean and North America (except the tiny islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, which gave them fishing rights to the rich cod resources of the Grand Banks) after their defeat in the French and Indian Wars of 1754-1763 (also called the "Seven Years War", or to the French, "La Guerre de la Conquet" -- The War of Conquest). So they were overjoyed when the United States of America sent the British loyalists fleeing to Upper Canada (now Ontario) after the success of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783).**


 * The American Declaration of Independence was widely circulated and admired in France. One Frenchman remarked, "We talked of nothing but America." Soon the French, inspired by the success of the American Revolution, were to launch their own.**


 * Therefore our first task is to get some uniform background information. Recognizing that people learn in different ways, you may //either// read from a book //Robespierre and the French Revolution// __or__ watch a History Channel documentary on the French Revolution. In either case, you will have the rest of the class to begin this, being sure to take notes on what you read/see.**

 * Your poster should be on brightly colored foam posterboard. Around the edges, create a 5 cm wide border, like a picture frame. This border should be filled with appropriate images (hand drawn, cut from magazines, or printed from the internet).**


 * In the center section, you will print, by hand or from the computer, in appropriately large font size, your favorite quote on revolution. Here is a selection to choose from: [[image:http://c1.wikicdn.com/i/mime/32/application/zip.png width="32" height="32" link="http://boylehist9.phoenix.wikispaces.net/file/view/Revolution+Quotes.pages"]] [|Revolution Quotes.pages]**


 * You must illustrate your quotation with an appropriate symbol or picture, and it must include color.**


 * You will notice that each quarter of the poster focuses on a different revolution, but each is organized using C-C-C (Causes, Course, Consequences). The first revolution is one that you ought all to be familiar with, the American Revolution.**

 * The Declaration of Independence is a document that truly reflects Enlightenment ideas. For the first time in history, these ideas, born in France and spread throughout the world by conversations, printed pamphlets and books, become a concrete social experiment. A seed from the Old World takes root in the New, and grows into a strong and beautiful tree: Modern Democracy.**

//-John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton//

 * Prior to the Enlightenment, monarchs were believed to rule by "divine right" -- God made them kings, and made other people peasants, and no matter where you were in the social hierarchy (ladder), that was where you were SUPPOSED to be -- no one even considered trying to change it, because that would be going against providence (God's will), and no good could come of THAT!**


 * As new ideas about the nature of man, society and government began to spread throughout France and the rest of Europe through the//salons//, the //Encyclopedie// and the writings of the //philosophes//, monarchs reacted in much the same way as the Church had reacted to the new ideas of the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution: by tightening their grip on power or by trying to "go with the flow". Some seized on Hobbes' idea that the only way to have peace and order was to have Absolute Monarchs, wielding absolute power -- people should be happy to give up some of their personal freedoms if the result was good, right?**


 * Other monarchs rejected this heavy-handed approach, wanting to be seen as "enlightened rulers" -- they might have been born to royalty but still wanted to be seen as civilized, reasonable men and women who were justified in wielding power because they were, well, //modern//. (Of course being enlightened didn't mean they were ready to give up their power!) They at least paid lip service to the Enlightenment ideals of liberty, the natural rights of man, free speech and so on -- but only to a point!**


 * So who was the "Most Absolute of the Absolute Monarchs"? Who was the "Most Enlightened Despot" ("Despot" is another word for "tyrant", so consider what this common oxymoron implies) . Were they, as Baron Acton suggested, "absolutely corrupt"?**


 * Your task: Imagine that you are a public relations consultant for either Frederick the Great, Catherine the Great or Joseph II. The monarch that you represent wants to be named "Most Enlightened Despot of the 1700's". You've all seen election campaign posters, so make one for your "client". Do this online, using [|Glogster] (click on the green "EDU" circle on the bottom right of the page, then scroll down a little to "create your own glog" as a student -- the code you need is ** //5AFB7G// **) and post to your Gallery page by the beginning of next class. Make sure there are some good solid facts included -- remember, "the people" (you and your classmates) are going to being using their REASON to make their choices.**


 * Read ONE of the following articles from ABC-CLIO and take notes (any format) for discussion next class on the power each monarch had, and the use they made of it. Were they loved, or hated, by their people? Why?**

> The Enlightenment was a time when new ideas were put into practice, particularly in the area of government. Prior to the Enlightenment, most monarchs ruled with an iron fist. It was believed that the state and its citizens existed to serve the monarch. However, during the Enlightenment a new idea began to take root. This idea was that the monarch existed to serve the state and support the citizens. This was a huge shift in thinking which formed the basis of the democratic governments we have today.

 * What do these two paintings tell you about the way children were viewed in Europe prior to and after the Enlightenment?**




 * Painted by Joshua Reynolds, 18th century British artist**


 * Many philosophes, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Earl of Shaftsbury reacted against Hobbes' view of the life of man in a state of nature as "nasty, brutish and short" with the contrary image of the "noble savage". Rousseau argued that in a state of nature, men are essentially animals, and that only by acting together in civil society and binding themselves to its laws do they become men. For Rousseau only a properly constituted society and reformed system of education could make men good. His fellow //philosophe//, Voltaire, who did not believe in equality, accused Rousseau of wanting to make people go back and walk on all fours. (Wikipedia)**

 * The Enlightenment **


 * In the last unit you learned how Europeans began to open their minds to new ways of thinking about the world around them, about the role of the Church, about their role in the universe. They had struck out across the oceans, discovering new lands, and claiming vast territories. For the first time, the whole world was known and mapped, and the networks of trade, colonialism and conflict drew the peoples of the world together in an ever more complex web of interactions and connections. For the first time in human history we could meaningfully talk about "humanity" and "the world", and no longer be just talking about PART of humanity and PART of the world.**


 * By the mid-18th century, new ideas about human society and government were sweeping across Europe. This intellectual movement, known as the Enlightenment, started in France, and gave birth to revolutionary ideas like democracy and individual rights. Let's take a look at some of these key ideas.****

Let's begin by considering what "Enlightenment" might look like: [|The Parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant]

 * You will be looking at this article by Richard Hooker about some key Enlightenment Thinkers, [|The Philosophes]**


 * Everyone will read the sections "Seventeenth Century Enlightenment Thought", "The Eighteenth Century" and "The Philosphes", then choose ONE philosophe (or "pre-philosphe") to introduce. You will be taking on the role of one of the philosophes in a round of Speed Dating next class.**

Individual Project: Speed-Dating for the Open-Minded

Clearly, it's better to be open-minded than closed-minded right? People will, well, LIKE you more if you're open-minded. And of course there's always the chance that being open-minded could lead you to making a discovery, or coming up with an invention or new idea that no one else has though of yet. And that would make you REALLY cool!

We going to ask you to "become" one of these open-minded people who made contributions to Europe, and the world, at a time when lots of people were, well, not so open-minded. Your task will be to create a 2 minute dating video for "yourself" using [|iMovie] (click on "Get to Know iMovie for a video tutorial if you've never used it before). What can you tell prospective partners about yourself -- what you've done or discovered, where you've been or what you've invented -- that will make them think YOU ROCK! Costumes are optional, but will of course boost your grade! So will speaking in appropriate accents, using appropriate props, adding cool background music....

Post your iMovie project on your gallery page by the beginning of class 34 (D: 11/9, F&A: 11/10)

Choose your philosophe (or pre-philosophe) [|here]
