Revolution Digital Story

Posted by Zoe Schwingel-Sauer in World History - Block - B on

​ In our tenth grade world history class we have been learning all about revolutions: What causes them? How do they succeed? What methods are used? We explored these questions through many revolutions including the French Revolution and Ukrainian Revolution. For our big quarter assignment, we were tasked with the job of making a digital story about revolutions. For this project we had to explore one specific topic, and make a guide to revolutions. 

I chose to focus on the success of nonviolent revolutions. In the past, and still now, many people believe that violence is effective. I wanted to show people that the peaceful movements are more beneficial. I conducted my research by learning about past revolutions, and also focusing on current ones. Revolutions are inevitable, and it’s very helpful to know how to succeed in them.

​In class we learned about different rev. We learned about the a little about the revolution in Egypt. How Egypt camped out in a square until their president left. Then they did it again when the military took over. Afterwards the military sent in troops and tanks to remove the people from the area.

We also learned about the Rev. in Ukraine. In Ukraine the President was a very greedy man. He promised to integrate Ukraine with the European Union and he didn’t. He also had a custom made toilet that was made of gold. Then when he left there was a warrant for his arrest.

This unit we learned all about revolutions. Half of our unit was more so about historical revolutions. We researched and role-played about the French Revolution and how it started and the opinions of people in it. Through this research we figured out what a revolution is made up of and what needs to happen to keep it going. Our class also learned about the Haitian Revolution and what it had to do to with the French Revolution. 

The second half of our unit was surrounding a lot of movements going on right now in the Middle East. Since we learned about revolutions in different time periods, we also investigated how certain aspects of revolutions have changed and might have been made easier or harder to accomplish.

During this unit we have worked on revolutions. Working on revolutions have really changed my view on a lot of things. My view on the world is completely different now and it makes me appreciate the things that I am given more. We have researched different revolutions over the century's. One thing that has remained the same was that people are fighting for some type of equality. 

Some other things that I have noticed are the fight for power. When you're fighting for power you can't stop in the middle. You have to keep going and fighting for what you believe in. If you would stop it shows you're weak. In most cases fighting for power is not always pretty. It can be very violent but in some way you can manage to keep the peace. In almost every revolution things don't go as planned when the power is in your hands. When this happens I think it clarify's that a revolution is never really over and that is the most difficult part. It's not about who can have the power but more about what do you do when you're given the power. In my video you can see how the Egyptians fought for power and what happens when you try to "end" a revolution.
