February 22


Today we finished watching the video "The French Revolution", which culminated with the execution of Marie Antoinette and the downfall and execution of Danton and Robespierre. I gave you two homework assignments, which are due on Friday, one of them I have e-mailed you already. The other assignment is related to the political spectrum in revolutionary France. I also gave you a handout in class today, so if you missed class you'll need to get it from me on Friday. If you missed class today, you are still responsible for any missed work or assignments that I gave out in class today.

At the beginning of class I showed you a short 15 minute video from CBC News in Review from 1995. The main topic of the video was the Quebec Referendum of 1995. Here are a couple of hyperlinks that I'd like you to check out on this topic:

I also gave you the remaining class time to work on the research component of the French-English Relations Timeline Assignment. This assignment is due on March 6th.

For the upcoming quiz, do we need to memorize the dates of the treaties and referendums etc..?

That might be a good idea. It won't hurt you at any rate.

For the Revolutionary Politics assignment, does the Middle Class refer to the Bourgeoisie?

Kevin Gilchrist said...

The Social 10 quiz is worth 28 marks.

For the Social 20 Revolutionary Politics assignment, think of the "middle class" as moderates. They are smack dab in the middle of the spectrum.
