I'm just beginning to enter what is probably the toughest unit in World History 2 to teach: The French Revolution. It's so complicated and there's so much going on that it's difficult to know what to include and what to leave out. I took a course on early modern France, and seem to recall that we did spend a good deal of time on the French Revolution, but unfortunately, I don't have that luxury in this course - by the end of the year I have to get through the end of the Cold War. So the question is, how do I teach the French Revolution? I think this year I have already done myself one favor, and that's setting up some of the conditions that existed in France that led to revolution. But I am a little intimated by the content.
