SS9: French Revolution Newspaper Project

​After you have read the chapter on the French Revolution in your textbook, start your research:
1. Reference Sources accessed via the library webpage (Passwords required): World Book and Britannica

2. Biography in Context: a good reference source for information on the people in the French Revolution.

Next, search for websites. Be sure to assess the quality and credibility of websites that you find online. 
 
1. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Exploring the French Revolution
              A website written and curated by scholars from George Mason University and City University in New York.

2. Consider searching using :.fr for sites from France
              Example, the Palace of Versaille Website  
 
3. For a collection of images from the French Revolution, check out the Library of Congress website
A note about using images from the web in your newspapers 
You will be using a number of pictures and images in your project.  You can use images from the encyclopedias or databases, or do a Google image search.

Example of a Google image search:

  • Search "Tennis Court Oath" in Google. 
  • Select images
  • Select search tools from the menu bar
  • From the usage rights menu on the lower menu bar, select labeled for non-commercial reuse.  Any image there is free to use but credit should still be given to the source
 
Remember that each image should have a caption and an indication of the source at the bottom of the picture. 
 
Example, the image below is from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Le_Serment_du_Jeu_de_paume.jpg

Political Cartoon Component
One of the components of your newspaper is ONE political cartoon. Before you begin to draw, watch the video of Patrick Chappatte, an editorial cartoonist for The International New York Times as he shares how he makes an editorial cartoon on deadline, and offer students advice on how to make a cartoon. Take note on the process of making a cartoon, and what advice Mr. Chappatte gives to students making their own cartoons.

Next, complete Handout 7: Drawing a Political Cartoon.
