Objective:
Given an historical background on the social and political atmosphere in France in the 1700's, students will be able to recognize the causes and influences of the French Revolution, develop an awareness of the pivotal characters involved in the
conflict, and list the results of the conflict and its impact on world
history
Rationale:
The French Revolution is well known as being one of if not the most influential Revolutions to have ever happen. People rising up over a social system as well as a religious and military system that was in place to support it, remains the standard for revolutions that changed the way the world viewed government, rights and freedoms of citizens.
Evidence:
Being able to identify and connect various events, the value system that spawned them, and the effect they had on not just France but the rest of the world will allow students to see modern day revolutions from a perspective of knowledge when comparisons arise.

Today's Essential Question:
Does a revolution always slide back to the basics of needing some strong vocal leader as a ruler, who always seem to be backed by the military? Is it inevitable for all revolutions?
__________________________________________________________
Journal Topic: Do military leaders make the best presidents? Should there be a military requirement in order to run for president? The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces, which makes him in charge of all branches of our military.
Current requirements:
- 1.be a natural born U.S. citizen (or those born abroad, but only to parents at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time) The only exception to this was for those around at the time the Constitution was adopted. Their requirement was that they had to be a citizen when the Constitution was adopted.
- 2. be at least 35 years of age.
- 3. have lived in the United States for at least 14 years to be president. This does not have to be consecutive or even the 14 years leading up to becoming president.
Task: re-write the requirements of being able to run for president.
