World: We are continuing with Revolution.  Today I collected the Historical Context questions and provided credit for note taking on 23.1 & 2 and 24.1.  We will zoom into the French Revolution. Think about the causes of revolution (at the same time, think about empires and why they fall).

French Revolution quick overview

I collected your soaps analysis and revolution documents today. I will return them on Monday, you will be needing them for an activity.

We discussed freedom, liberty and popular sovereignty, and the importance of viewing the revolution through the lens of the colonized.  More on this next week.  Review the material and be sure you can identify the causes of the French Revolution. What are the key words and ideas? Who's important, why?
