November 22, 2018 The Research Essay
Some students have asked me for notes on how to structure this essay. It is a research essay. For that you must treat your readers (your teacher) as if they know nothing. So...
1) Introduce the context (the time period, the events, the situation and all other historical information). Give us a background.
2) Make your point about why this is important. What aspect are you focusing on and how it changed the world or impacted our lives. What makes this change or event historically significant.
3) Look at the event in depth, giving primary sources as evidence. Highlight a few ways that your sources support your statement.

CANCELLED - Friday, September 21, 2018 Assignment: Perspectives - French Revolution
In this assignment, you must demonstrate that you understand one of the nine key events of the French Revolution through each of four historical perspectives. You will provide information about one of these key events from the point of view of members of royalty, the clergy, the nobility and peasants.
You have full artistic freedom in the choice of media used to complete this assignment. You may use audio files, video files and/or text — whatever media best enables you to tell your stories. You may also use any format you wish, such as fictional diary entries, interviews, news broadcasts, radio talk show segments, a reader's theatre, a YouTube video, or songs. The sky is the limit in terms of your imagination with this assignment!
For each of the key events, begin with an original (and brief!) synopsis of the historical event, and then delve into a description of the event from the perspective of each character (royalty, clergy, noble, and peasant). Be sure to review the first module as a reminder of the historical thinking concepts.
In your Learning Guide, you will find a table that you can use to help organize your thoughts as you progress through this large assignment. Use it to write out your ideas of how you are going to provide the perspectives of each group for the keys events of the Revolution. What type of media? Text, video, audio, PPT/multimedia…? Which format? Fictional diary entries, interviews, news broadcasts, radio talk show segments, a reader's theatre, a YouTube video or songs?
