Did you miss the Friday before Spring Break?

If you did, remember you must come to conference period on Wednesday to make up work for full credit. 

On Friday students selected two of the four writing prompts to answer in class. Students were allowed to use their notes and their book.  The prompts were given to class before Friday.

Answers should be at least two paragraphs and will be judged primarily on facts you include in your answers. However, your answers should also use correct spelling and punctuation.  Your paragraphs should have a topic sentence that is supported by the other sentences.

Use your own words. Do NOT copy sentences from the textbook.

1. Explain how internal conflicts lead to radical overthrow of traditional governments in France, Latin America, and Russia, leading to new political and economic systems.

2. Did Napoleon do more to preserve the ideas of the French Revolution or more to betray them? (598-599)

3. Compare and contrast the French Revolution to the Russian Revolution.

4. Explain how the French Revolution impacted the movement for independence in Latin America. (Lecture on Latin America)
