Revolution Guidebook Project

In this unit of our World History class we studied various revolutions in history and in present day. First we studied the Arab Spring. The Arab spring is a more modern revolution that takes place in Egypt. We learned how modern technology such as the internet can help gather a nation. After the Arab Spring we studied the French Revolution and even did a role playing activity speaking as people from the time. This consisted of speaking parts and long class discussions about our characters view on issues like, the Declaration of Rights, Womens’ Right, King Louis XIV exception and public safety in France and Haiti at the time.

For this project we were given the task to make a digital story with a topic of our choosing that involves 2 or more revolutions old or modern. For mine I picked how the internet and social media has affected a lot of different revolutions. I also compared this to older revolutions that did not have the internet.
