PART B: After each member of your group has completed the note-taking document, prepare a presentation that includes the following information:

  • What happened? A detailed explanation of the issue and account of the uprising, clash, violent protest (injuries, deaths, arrests, etc.)
  • Who was involved? What groups are opposing each other? The state, religious groups, ethnic groups, etc.
  • What were the causes? Include the underlying and/or immediate causes.
  • What was the outcome? Discuss the short and long term impacts. State how the conflict has been resolved or its current status. Include if the event is connected to another event.
  • Presentation: Focus on images, rather than text. Ensure each member has the opportunity to present. Know your topic. i.e. avoid reading off your notes.
  • Class Activity: Prepare a class activity based on your presentation. This could be done individually, in pairs, groups, or a class at the start of your presentation, the middle, or the end. Note: do not use Kahoot!
  • Bibliography: Submit a bibliography in MLA Format due on the day of your presentation.
​PART C: Individual Writing Assignment (300-500 words)
Following the presentation, write a reflection on the following questions: 
  • Connect the conflict to the French Revolution. What were the similarities? What were the differences?
  • Based on your research, do you feel this rebellion is/was justified? Support your opinion with evidence from your research.
