Revolution Guidebook Project

Posted by Eamon Kelly in World History - Block - B on

Over the course of the unite, we were learning about Revolutions, and how they affect the community. While some of the revolutions we were studying took place centuries ago, most of the ones are actually happening right now. We have read timelines and articles about the tension rising from the impact of the revolution. We have learned that some people are afraid of what might happen if this chaos does not stop.


For My research, I studied about how revolutions start. What is the first thing that happens to cause a revolution to take place? For example, the Arab Spring revolution started because the government was acting selfish and decided to take away the rights that men, women and children deserve. As a result, the people have no choice but to start protesting and gathering angry mobs and holding up signs. However, this also leads to violence, abuse, and even murder.

In this history unit learning about revolutions. We talked about many ideas about how one starts a revolution, the certain causes of revolutions and different variables that go into making a revolution successful or it failing completely. We didn't just learn about one revolution in one certain time period but many different ones all through out history. We also learned different techniques on how to make a revolution stand out and let people speak their minds. 
One fascinating revolution we studied about is the French Revolution where King Louis the 15th, and Marie Antoinette led France into corruption and putting themselves over their own people. One method the third estate used is ambushing and mobbing different areas and using violence to show how they were treated unfairly. While this revolution used violence there are also many different ways to go about a revolution. Here   are 198 non violent actions that can involve a revolution. 
Whether you use violence or not, certain things can determine whether your revolution is a success or not.

How Do Governments Respond to Revolutions?

Posted by Pilar Carroll in World History - Block - B on

In our revolution unit, we learned explored a lot about the definition of a revolution. I learned that revolutions can be more then just fighting for a cause, it can be new technology, or a new language. We also learned about certain revolutions, such as the french revolution, and the revolution that just happened in Egypt.

​In the third marking period of world history, we learned about revolutions. We learned what causes them, what you need for a successful revolution, and we also learned about different revolutions that occurred in the last couple of years. We talked about the effect previous revolutions may have had on future ones, and learned that the Egyptian revolution in Tahrir Square taught a lot of people the do's and dont's for a revolution they may want to plan.
 For example, the people of Ukraine said that they learned the protest is not over once the corrupted leadership is out of power, it is really only the beginning. Next you have to establish the government you want and wait awhile until you see things operating how you want them too. The point of a revolution is too see change, and in no circumstance should you leave before you see drastic improvements. People help others in ways if they realize it or not. Some one is always watching you too see what you do and try to improve on it. And as more countries decide to have revolutions, more people gain freedom and are no longer oppressed.

Revolution Guidebook Project

Posted by Alexander Wroblewski in World History - Block - B on

​In this unit of study in our World History Class, we studied various revolutions. We learned about the causes and conflicts of the french revolution, the impact of social media on the Arab Spring, and a bit about the ongoing Ukrainian Revolution. We asked and answered questions, such as "How do revolutions begin?" and "What methods do they use to succeed?". For our final project this quarter, we had to make a digital storybook about a question we had about revolutions.

For my digital storybook, I talked about the series of events that lead up to revolutions, which may include other revolutions. I asked "Does the impact of revolutions cause more problems than it solves?" I found no clear answer other than that revolutions start a chain of events that cannot be undone, and may lead to other revolutions. I talked about how todays events in Ukraine are part of the aftershock of the events of the Russian Revolution. Cause and Effect is the greatest force for change in the world, especially today.

​ Throughout this unit we learned that revolution is basically a debatable protist. Revolution an instance for resolving. In today's world mostly revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a system. Now when I was doing my research I has to come with a topic. So I thought to myself what is a possible key thing in a revolution? Then it hit to me. The answer is communication.
What is communication? Communication is the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings or social contact. While I was doing my research I was witnessing that people actually used social media to communicate during their revolutions. They used facebook, twitter, youtube, etc. to share their own feeling/emotions and also to show proof of what the world should see. In the past social media didn't even exist. Until now with our modern day technology people were able to communicate faster. I learned that communication is a big part of a specific revolution. Also it can help you, make it widespread so others can see, or even just succeed.

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.

What Happen's after a Revolution?

What happens after a Revolution? from Lindsey Jones on Vimeo.

The world history unit of revolutions has been quite interesting. The French Revolution seemed to be an introductory lesson into the wider and more current revolutions that still exist today. Stages and methods of revolutions definitely changed over time and even some old methods are still used today. Revolutions are comprised of long oppression of a certain group/class and happen when that group has reached it's boiling point.

Personally I've taken a lot from this unit. It's very fun and interesting to be able to learn about the events that lead into a new beginning. Revolutions throughout history have occurred in only a few days, and a new nation was born. We as people take notes from each other, even if we are separated by oceans, in how to make the world a better place. The Occupy Wall St. Movement was the most influential protest-type movement in my opinion. It stretched across the entire world and infected every country and place. Revolutions, as seen from the current events in Ukraine and around the world bring us together.

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.
