We'll have a test on Friday, January 23 (major grade).

For Friday, 1/16:
Finish the handout on the radical phase of the revolution. Read this essay entitled "Napoleon and the Superior Being." Whoops! The link was broken. Fixed now.
How was Napoleon a product of the French Revolution? (half a page or so, check/zero)

For Wednesday, 1/14:
Read the attached handout on the radical phase of the revolution; it goes into more detail than your textbook.

Give a little extra time to the description of the guillotine execution described in the yellow box on page 500. Write a half-page reaction to share in class.

For Monday, 1/12:

Read the handout attached below on the National Assembly Period. It should clear up some of the things we rushed through in class.

 

Type or handwrite out answers to the following question (check/check-plus/check-minus). 1 page or so.
How radical was the National Assembly, on a scale of 1 (completely conserving the old order) to 5 (completely uprooting the old order)? Explain your reasoning with specific examples.
David, you already did this, you're fine.

For Wednesday, 1/7:
Read 495-497 (up to "The Radical Revolution") in your textbook and answer these questions for a check/zero grade (not to hand in).
- Describe the 3 estates -- who were they? What proportion of the population did they make up?
- What was the Estates-General? Why was it called together? Why were the representatives arguing about how votes should happen?
- What was the National Assembly, and what did it do?
