I feel like this French Revolution unit has gone on forever!! You probably feel that way too. I know my kids do. By the time I actually finish, I will have spent about 4-5 class periods on it. BUT, we have had three snow days over the last two weeks, and so I keep having to push things back, rearrange things, etc. So it ends up being WEEKS of French Revolution, even though it's just 4-5 class periods.

And the whole unit is CRAP. Just crap.

Well, maybe not all of it.

I think they get the causes. But I don't know that they get the rest of it - why did it get more radical? Why did it, anyway? How on earth did they get to the point where not only did they behead the king, but 40,000 other people?

Oy.
