There you go - timelines are due at END of class on Thursday. We will discuss some of these topics in class in mini-lectures. Your book, the books Mr. Moulden has, and good internet research are great resources to gather your needed knowledge on these matters.

The Circle of Revolution: The People and Events

The French Revolution plays a tipping point in European history. The 3rd Estate in France sees the ideas and philosophies of the Enlightenment have some success in the American Revolution (that France played an important role in making successful) - now they want their turn. They want a voice in a country full of national pride, yet that is on the verge of economic chaos.
Below you will find two lists - one of people and one of events.

Today you will work on the events of the early French Revolution (we will break this project into parts, and bring it all together next week).

Events - place the events in order, find the date (or range of time) that each took place. Give a brief description of the event (i.e. what led to this event taking place, the people and/or groups involved, and what role this event had within the French Revolution has a whole), and find or draw a picture that shows the importance of the event.
Use your book, the books Mr. Moulden has on the center table, the videos linked below and good internet research (i.e. scholarly websites - not random blogs) to find your information. BE SURE TO KEEP A DOCUMENT OF YOUR RESOURCES!!!
I would accomplish this task in a Google Doc, shared with your ONE partner and Mr. Moulden.

With no further ado, here are the events to start with ...
- American Revolution
- Bastille
- Civil Constitution of the Clergy
- Committee of Public Safety
- Declaration of Rights and Man
- Dutch Patriot Revolt
- Estates General
- Great Fear
- National Convention
- Reign of Terror
- Seven Years' War
- Tennis Court Oath

That should be a good start, more to come!

Here are some videos ...

Who's Right? Divine Right! or Not

So for the first part of Unit 2 we need to look and the Age of Absolutism and it's counter-part Constitutionalism. We talked - briefly - about Constitutionalism in class, but there are important details you need to know. To help you get those details I have gathered some videos for your viewing pleasure.

There are 7 videos covering everything to the basic of Absolutism to specific monarchs and their economic systems (hint we have covered that already as well). Use these videos and your book and Sage notes to complete the Absolutist graphic organizer I will provide you in class.

Will You Get the Job? Absolutely!

Task:  A small region of Europe has recently overthrown its previous rulers and is now looking to bring in a new ruler who is strong, iron-willed, and can lead their new country to greatness.  You are an absolute ruler who is among their candidate pool, and you need to present yourself to them in the best light possible in order to (possibly) ascend to the throne.  You need to create a resume to make yourself look as capable as possible to the hiring committee without being untruthful or promising things you can’t deliver. 

Requirements:

1.    Choose an absolute ruler from the list below. You can find information for each of these rulers in a variety of resources – the textbook, Sage Notes, and/or the blog.

2.    Using one of the templates provided, construct a resume for yourself (as an Absolutist) in Google Docs that shows why you should be the next ruler of this country.  Remember, you can’t be untruthful, but you can make yourself look good!

3.    Write a brief (3-7 sentence) statement at the bottom explaining why you would be the best choice for this fledgling country.  How will you lead them to greatness?  Why are you the best candidate?

4.    Cite your information on the back/bottom of your resume, and then share it with me via Google Drive for consideration by the committee (of one, the Absolutist way).

5.    Be creative and have fun with this!

Absolutists:

                        - King Louis XIV

                        - King Louis XV

                        - Peter the Great

                        - Frederick William, “The Great Elector” of Prussia

                        - Frederick William I, “The Soldier King”

                        - Frederick the Great

                        - Maria Theresa of Austria

                        - Joseph II of Austria

                        - Frederick the Great of Prussia

                        - Catherine the Great

                        - Charles I

                        - Charles II

                        - James I

Some Helpful Resources

No matter your monarch please make sure you watch the first 3 videos below - they explain Absolutism, Constitutionalism, and the philosophies behind both.
Below those videos are a few videos on particular monarchs or regions.
These are but a few of the videos available to you on a wonderful website called YouTube (just be sure you are watching creditable videos and not the rants of an uneducated person with a webcam).

Insta-Mercantilism version 2015

It's time to have some Instagram like fun with AP Euro.


For Mercantilism section of Ch. 6

As a class, each student will take on the role of a monarch, businessman, trader, sailor, or nobility of 18th century Europe.
From this person's perspective, you will 'post' (we will use Keynote to create the 'post') 4 photos with captions and tagging other classmate characters, including them in your conversation - this should show the connections mercantilism had between different parts of society. Note not all of these connections were positive. In addition to your 4 'posts', you will need to respond to 3 classmate 'posts' as a comment - meaning you will need to check on the progress of their 'Instagram' posts as well.


Your post need to:
- Have a photo (1 to 10 points)
- A caption (1 to 10 points) that tags another classmate (5 points)

Points based on how well the photos and captions show a connection to:
- society
- the economy
- a history event that involves mercantilism
- another classmate

Your comments:
- Need to show your connection to the original photo (1 to 8 points)
- Gives your perspective or point of view of the photos content (1 to 5 points)

We will draw for roles/personas in class on Monday 10/5

Project will be due by end of class on Thursday 10/8 ... you will share your 'posts' via Google Docs with me.
