September 19


You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Quiz for most of the period. If you finished up early, you had an opportunity to work on your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Monday. You have your Chapter 3-4 Quiz on Friday, September 26th. Please see the study guide below. Have a great weekend!

  • Know the key terms from Chapter 3-4
  • Be able to answer the Questions for Inquiry in Chapters 3-4 (they appear on p.49, p.53, p.58, p.73, p.80)
  • Know relevant case studies from Chapters 3-4: the Francophones, the Aborigines and the Lubicon, as well as other relevant examples related to assimilation, marginalization, accommodation and integration


The French Revolution DBA Assignment is on the wiki. Check under Unit 1 Assignments.
We finished our discussion about the causes of the French Revolution (a nice review), and then we watched a little bit of History Bites (the French Revolution and Napoleon). You have your DBA Assignment on the French Revolution due on Monday (please make sure that you work on parts of this assignment each night, by now, you should be on Part C). This assignment will probably take you at least 4 hours to complete, so don't leave it all to Sunday night, especially since you also have your Chapter 1-2 Test on Monday. I've posted the study guide again below.

This test will be on Monday, September 22nd. The test has a matching section and a short answer section.

  • Make sure that you have read both Chapter 1-2 from your textbook Exploring Nationalism
  • Study Chapter 1-2 Key Terms from the Unit 1 Worksheet
  • Study your answers to the questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet for Chapter 1-2
  • Study the presentations: "Nation and Identity" (Chapter 1 material + supplementary material), "Shaping Nationalism: The French Revolution" (Chapter 2 material + supplementary material), and "The Napoleonic Age" (Chapter 2 material + supplementary material)

For part D of the DBA assignment, do you want us to analyze all the verses of "The Star-Spangled Banner"?
Because it's really long.

For Part D of the DBA assignment, can we use either version of "O Canada"? There's a translation of the French lyrics, and the official English version.

No, it must be in full sentence answer form.

For part C of the DBA assignment, when we are putting the CLause or Clauses from the declaration, can we just put the number of what one or do we have to re-type all of them?

For part D of the DBA, for the Lyrics column do we just say what one it is or do we type out the whole lyrics or the national anthem?

----------------------
You put down the number of the clause, and you must provide justification for that clause reflecting an idea of the Enlightenment. So you need to include a short quote from the clause to prove your point.

----------------------
I would do it like I showed you in class. Split the lyrics of the anthem up by line, and then have the other two columns of the chart to do your analysis.

There should be equality of taxation. Mind pointing me in the right direction? do we have to use all 17 of the points given? can we put more than one for the enlightened ideas?

-----------------------
Not all of the 17 clauses will necessarily be used. There may be more than one clause used for some of the Enlightenment ideas.

------------------------
I can help you out with the separation of powers bit. That's an idea of Montesquieu. Montesquieu felt that a government should have three branches of government (similar to our legislative, executive, and judicial branches) and that there should be a separation of powers between these branches of government. What that clause is saying is that there needs to be a separation of powers in order to have an effective government, and effective constitution.

Hi Mr. Gilchrist,
I have a question about the September Massacres. Why did they occur and how was it linked to the events that occurred before that event?

Thanks.

-------------------
Remember that Jean Paul Marat organized the September Massacres. Basically it happens because the revolutionaries are worried that the pro-royalists and the priests would side with the invading foreign armies to overthrow the revolutionary government (at this point the wars are not going so well for France). They storm the prisons where the pro-royalists are being held and they act as judge, jury and executioner for them, slaughtering a few thousand very quickly. Does this help?

so was the Tennis Court Oath what got everyone talking about the French Revolution and then the Storming of the Basille started the whole revolution?
