The full study unit covering the causes and the events of the French Revolution takes up to 15 hours. However, in this condensed study unit<\/a>, designed to last about 7 hours, students will learn about the main causes of the French Revolution. The Three Estates System, the mistakes of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, the role of Enlightenment Philosophers and the American Revolution are all covered.
\nThe main outcomes are:<\/p>\n

A news report, radio broadcast or video newsflash reporting (in a biased manner) about the Fall of the Bastille.
\n A flowchart designed to link the various causes together meaningfully; this can also be developed into an essay.
\n A decision-making exercise in which students are in role as members of the National Assembly and the Convention debating how to solve the problems of the country.
\n A full-scale roleplay activity (“Louis XVI on Trial”) in which the class will be divided into prosecution \/ defence teams, with three judges, a courtroom scribe and King Louis XVI (played by the teacher). Through thisthis courtroom trial, students will select appropriate evidence and defend its reliability, whilst their opponents will try to discredit it. In this way the students build up some excellent sourcework analysis skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
