Socials 10: Dissent and Rebellion

Your Task

Research an area in the world where citizens have protested or rebelled using violence against a situation where they felt their rights were being violated.  Some situations have a lengthy history and others were relatively short in duration.  Some are still not resolved.  Prepare a snapshot presentation using a single PowerPoint slide or a poster.  Criteria for the presentation are listed below:

Visuals

Each slide must contain only one image., and no more than 6-10 words. Rather than full sentences or point form, use key words to highlight your point.

Oral Presentation
  • State who is in conflict and state the type of conflict (political, ethnic, religious, economic, etc.)
  • Describe the issue.  Discuss the causes. 
  • Provide a brief  account of the actual uprising, clash, violent protest. Include what the outcome was, deaths injuries, arrests, defections 
  • State how the conflict has been resolved or its current status. 
  •  Answer the question: Based on your research thus far, do you feel this rebellion is/was justified? Support your opinion with evidence from your research
  • Connect the conflict to the Rebellions of 1837.

Bibliography

 Use a variety of appropriate sources, document these formally and produce a bibliography.   

 Note your sources in your presentation explaining how they were useful to your research.

Audience Participation

As you listen to each presentation,  note any  similarities or differences to the rebellions of 1837. (you may need to re-read pages 1-3 in text book of the actual rebellion and review the reasons of discontent for the people of upper Canada on pages 4-8).  Be prepared to discuss these.
