Warm Up: Get 3 pieces of scratch paper and a marker.
Write one paragraph, 5-6 sentences, in answer to one or both of the questions below. The French Revolution was very violent in terms of lives lost and property damaged. Some people make a distinction between the violence of oppressed people (like the March on Versailles) and the violence of the state (like the King or Robespierre executing people on behalf of the government). What do you think? Do you see any connections to other places and times? THIS IS NOT A RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT. You do not need to cite sources. Alternate Assignment: Tell me something you learned this week and why it matters.
