September 21


I taught you about the 19th century political spectrum at the start of class today. You should know it, not only for this year, but for next year in 30-1 or 30-2. Be familiar with the various groups (radicals, liberals, moderates, conservatives, reactionaries) and examples of each group (Jacobins, Girondins, etc.) and their position on change. We then watched a documentary on Napoleon's invasion of Russia from the Turning Points in History series. I also talked to you about the French Revolution DBA Assignment which is due next Thursday (September 29th). Please remember that you have your Chapter 1-2 Test tomorrow (please see the study guide below).
