I have sent you a lot of information today through the e-mail distribution list. You should have received today's presentation on the Key Events of the French Revolution, as well as an answer key for the Declaration of the Rights of Man assignment, and the Timeline of the French Revolution (for those of you who like to type things out).

Today was a library research period for the Promotional Brochure Assignment. This assignment is due on Monday, February 27th. The extra credit assignment (if you decide to do it) is due the same day. Today was your one and only class period to do some research for this project.

For the test tomorrow,(10-2) did you say it was going to have a matching portion?
social 10-2
our brochures, how big can they be? like what's the max size of the booklet/pamphlet?
where is the blog entry where you give us a review for the test tomorrow?
The test format is in Tuesday's comments section.
As far as the brochure: I will provide some paper that is legal size (81/2 x 14), that is the recommended size, but I did have a couple of groups last term that went slightly larger than that or were a little creative with extra pull out sections.
Sorry it was in Monday's comments, here it is again:
It is divided into four sections:
1. Being able to identify lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water labeled on a map.
2. Capital cities
3. Identifying certain Canadian cities on a map.
4. I've selected a region of Canada, and you have to identify cities, rivers and other bodies of water in that region from a map that is provided.

What is the extra credit component for the brochure?
The extra credit component is making a companion website for the region that you have selected. It would include at least four web pages that are hyperlinked together, and it would allow you to expand upon the topics that you will cover in the brochure.
spooky
the extra credit is to make a companian website to go along with the brochure.
what's spooky?
haha wow. same post at the same time.

Does spelliing count for tomorrow's quiz?
Anyone know any good webpage design websites?
I have a couple of questions for the textbook questions. # 3 asks "explain the rationale for the legislation that abolished feudalism"... what exactly is it asking and also for # 6 Explain the economic difficulties which existed in France during the first few months of the revolution... i thought of this as a repetitive question because it was like the bread shortages, the mob, King Louis being overthrown and that stuff right? Or is there a different answer for this question?

I have the same question as Samantha about question number three. For my answer I wrote down why they had to get rid of feudalism but I am not sure if that is the correct answer.
Social 20-4 8:43 p.m. comment: that sounds good to me.
Social 20-4
Okay, thanks! Oh, and by the way, will we be needing to hand these in like the other set of questions we did? One last question, will all these questions be included in our mark under "assignments"?
Question #3: The rationale for abolishing feudalism was that the Old Regime's dependence on the feudal system of taxation was unfair, the nobility basically strip themselves of their feudal rights and privileges. Taxation would eventually become proportionate to income (in other words, if you were rich, you had the ability to pay more taxes than someone who was poor). This redistributes the tax burden more equitably. Does that help?
I'm still kind of confused about that one question.. number 6
For Social 20-4 students, if I take in homework assignments, I check for completion and it does count towards assignments. I take in a bunch of homework assignments over the course of the semester (I don't always take things in, so you don't know when I'll be checking your homework), and then I total up the marks from these homework checks a few times per semester and that counts towards assignments. Does that make sense to you? If not, I can explain it in class.
Question #6: The new government in France inherited the problems of the Old Regime, especially the economic problems! How did they solve those problems?
Social 10, 8:27 p.m. comment: are you looking for a site that can teach you HTML?
Spelling counts for the quiz. Strangely enough, I think that you should be able to spell all things Canadian.

For our test tomorrow, is everything we need to label on the two maps that we did already? (Political and Physical) or are there going to be like extra compnents, like cities, rivers, lakes, etc.

Regarding the assignats, were they simply money that was issued by the revolutionary government? Also, I am not very sure how assignats contribute to inflation in France. The textbook talks about them burning it? I am really confused. I wish the textbook would just be less wordy>=/

Do we know when that essay is due? The one on the reasons why Canada's population is concentrated in certain areas and not evenly spread.
Geography Test: If you study the physical and political maps that you did, you should be fine.
Social 10-2
For the test tomorrow, will we have to locate the cities with dots, or will the dots already be already given to us
Assignats were bonds, and their value was based on Church land (which had been nationalized). People who had assignats were expected to exchange these bonds for the nationalized land, and then the assignats were to be burned. People began to circulate the assignats as money, and the government printed off more. Eventually, the assignats weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Inflation resulted because the assignats value decreased, the government printed more, and the government's debt increased. Yes, the textbook is wordy, and I think my answer may be a bit wordy. I'm not sure that I've helped. Basically, the whole assignats fiasco contributed to France's financial problems.
