CA.10.2. Content Standard: World History, Culture, and Geography
Students compare and contrast the Glorious Revolution of England, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution and their enduring effects worldwide on the political expectations for self-government and individual liberty.
10.2.4. Performance Standard:
Explain how the ideology of the French Revolution led France to develop from constitutional monarchy to democratic despotism to the Napoleonic empire.
10.2.5. Performance Standard:
Discuss how nationalism spread across Europe with Napoleon but was repressed for a generation under the Congress of Vienna and Concert of Europe until the Revolutions of 1848.
________________________________________________________________________
Objective:
Given a 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:
Mob rule does it ever produce a reasonable outcome?______________________________________________________
Your time in class Tuesday should be spent answering the Journal question, then finishing your timeline and making sure your video questions get submitted as well (see the top of the Blog if your not sure what I mean).
For Thursday - the best way to get the timeline information onto a print-out is to take screen shots and place them onto a google slide. That way you can print them out in a shorter number of pages than the current pdf format the Hstry.co website provides.
The easiest way is to take screen grabs of your timeline and place them on a google slide. Once on the slide you can crop them to make them easier to move and place closer together so they print-out on less pages. You can use the same technique if you used the more sophisticated timeline maker. I would suggest you place your timeline back to back on paper so there are less pages to fumble with during the test.
Journal Topic: "Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of everyone has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.1 Unsuccessful rebellions indeed generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Paris, January 30, 1787
This is the passage (especially the bolded text) that everyone uses to quote Thomas Jefferson and his opinion about revolutions...
your task is to explain...
1. what he means (put his words into more simple words that, i.e. what are the 3 societies, which one is best)
2. explain how this passage relates to the French Revolution...justify the French reaction based on Jefferson's definition
