Judging by the number of rubrics and directions left on the floor in the room...a few of you may need this. 😂
Age of Revolution
Revolution

1. the
usually violent attempt by many people to end the rule of one government and
start a new one;
2. a

The Age of
Revolution is the period from approximately 1775 to 1848 when several
significant revolutionary movements occurred in Europe and the Americas.

Divide and Conquer!
You
will have two class periods to research your revolution and plan your
presentation, but in order to complete the research in time to work on your
presentation, you will need to divide the information you are looking for among
the people in your group. I would suggest you have TWO people
responsible for each questions so they can compare answers. You will have enough class time to plan and
prepare your presentation if you use your time wisely.
Revolution Presentations
There
are several methods you might choose to present your revolution to the
class. Decide which would be the best
for the members of your group and for presenting your revolution.
Presentations are due :

Reminders
about Documentation
There are
many different ways to document your sources.
For this particular project, we are using a modified MLA style* with a Works
Consulted* page.
For each online source you use, you will need to
note:
- The name of the web site
- The name of the PAGE or ARTICLE on
that site
- The day YOU went to the web site
- The copyright or last updated date of
the site
- The author or creator of the site.
Each different online source will be an entry on the Works
Consulted page. It will follow this
format:
Baxter, Bob.
“Protestant Revolution.” Encyclopedia of Revolutions. 2009. 9 Jan. 2017.
For any books you use, you will need to note:
- The title of the book
- The author of the book
- The date the book was published
- The city where the book was published
- The publisher (maker) of the book
Each different book source will be an entry on the Works
Consulted page. It will follow this
format:
Baxter, Bob.
Revolutions. New York: Bantham Press, 2012.
*I strongly
encourage you to use Noodle Tools on the SBISD web page to make your Works
Consulted page, but feel free to use any available source or tool for MLA
citation. Some online sites will even
give you the citation.
