Revolution Digital Guidebook
During this quarter, we focused on revolutions and the sub-topic within them. Out of all the revolutions we studied, the Egyptian Revolution was by the far the biggest one. We discussed the the different things that may cause revolutions, and the various steps in attempt to continue revolutions. Another thing that we did, which I really enjoyed was role playing the French/Haitian Revolution and comparing recent revolutions with past ones.
My project goes more into depth of why the Ukrainian and Egyptian were caused, and how they both relate to the cause of the French/Haitian Revolution. I also include the uprising turmoil that other countries have brought onto the countries that are already involved in their revolution already. These revolutions were mainly caused by a certain someone who obtains most of the country's power. The rest is for you to find out!!!!!!!!

In this unit we covered numerous topics on Revolutions, first focusing more on the French Revolution. We got a perspective on what it would be like to be in the Revolution with the role-play and were challenged to think like the characters assigned to us, despite our personal opinions. After the French Revolution we focused more on modern Revolutions (Venezuela, Arab Springs, Ukraine) and we were able to do our own research. Throughout the unit I learned numerous things, not just about revolutions that happened or are happening now. I learned about what makes a revolution, and how to carry through a successful Revolution.
For instance, taking advantage of the internet, getting lots of people involved but have a small group for people who are more involved. One of the larger things I learned was to approach with peace, although violence is a way to show your feelings, it just causes more injury and death. When people are approached with peace they don’t feel threatened, and they are more open to the idea of negotiation.

The second half of the unit was spent on studying modern day revolutions, and what has changed compared to historic ones. The main thing we that we found was interesting is the change in media. We have been tracking the revolution going on in the Ukraine today, and it seems to be fitting perfectly with our unit. We closed out the unit with the main question: what makes a revolution successful? After long discussions, we each made these projects as a guide of how to actually have a successful revolution.

Revolution Guidebook Project (Jordan Meriwether)
In our we learn much about the different protest happening now and in the past. A were able to see the progression of a revolution happen right in front of us due to there being a revolt in Ukraine, this gave us a very vivid image of how a these things are dealt with today. We also looked through a book called ‘198 Methods of Nonviolent Action’ which discusses different forms of protest very specifically.
Throughout my project I studied the changes throughout history of the treatment of the protestors and if they were treated any better throughout history. I mainly look at the Revolutionary war and the civil rights movement since they represent very different views of how protests should be handled. Once I had compared them all to this time I noticed extreme changes in violence towards protesters as time became more recent. Now I understand the issues and risk of a protest in those separate times.
