A Tale of Two Cities
Read the following short passage from the novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. As you read, write down CCQ's about how you feel about Monsieur the Marquis.

//**World Literature**//  **Think about why the poor people in** **the street react as they do.**    With a wild rattle and clatter, and an inhuman abandonment of consideration not easy to be understood in these days, the carriage dashed through streets and swept round corners, with women screaming before it, and men clutching each other and clutching children out of its way. At last, swooping at a street corner by a fountain, one of its wheels came to a sickening little jolt, and there was a loud cry from a number of voices, and the horses reared and plunged.  But for the latter inconvenience, the carriage probably would not have stopped; carriages were often known to drive on, and leave their wounded behind, and why not? But the frightened valet had got down in a hurry …  “What has gone wrong?” said Monsieur, calmly looking out.  A tall man in a nightcap had caught up a bundle from among the feet of the horses, and had laid it on the basement of the fountain, and was down in the mud and wet, howling over it like a wild animal.  “Pardon, Monsieur the Marquis!” said a ragged and submissive man, “it is a child.”  “Why does he make that abominable noise? Is it his child?”  “Excuse me, Monsieur the Marquis—it is a pity—yes.” …  The people closed round, and looked at Monsieur the Marquis… [He] ran his eyes over them all, as if they had been mere rats come out of their holes.  He took out his purse.  “It is extraordinary to me,” said he, “that you people cannot take care of yourselves and your children. One or the other of you is for ever in the way. How do I know what injury you have done my horses?”

 * About the Reading** The French Revolution is the setting for //A Tale of Two Cities//, but the book was written many years later, in 1859. In both cities—London and Paris—the reader meets people who show the best and worst of human qualities. The passage below introduces one of the book’s villains, here called Monsieur the Marquis, as he rides through Paris in his carriage. The scene takes place before the Revolution has truly begun. || [[image:http://my.hrw.com/images/points/1.gif]] ||

Do you think the Marquis was a good person or a bad person? Why do you think that?

(put your answer in your virtual notebook and then copy and paste the text from above into your virtual notebook.)

The King is Dead!!!! Ummm...now what?


For the remainder of the week we will be looking at who gets to take over the power in France.

You will be working with one partner and will be playing the role of campaign manager for one of the following people (one will be assigned to you):

1) Jean-Paul Marat

2) George-Jacques Danton

3) Maximillien Robespierre

__//**Each pair will be creating a campaign poster or advertisement for one of the three people which clearly lays out:**//__ Your grade will be based upon these four criteria, and each of the partners should be responsible for 2 of these sections. Therefore in the //__**final test grade**__// each section will be worth 50% of the final grade.
 * Why having the King killed was either a good or bad thing
 * Your candidate's definition of the word Republic
 * Your candidate's position on how to best rule France as a Republic
 * What your candidate will do for the various groups within the third estate, particularly:
 * The Sans-Culottes
 * The Peasants
 * The Bourgeoisie

What's a campaign ad?

And this one too: media type="youtube" key="f-VZLvVF1FQ" height="315" width="560"

You will be presenting these to the class on Thursday. This presentation will be a classwork grade, as will the work you get done everday.

This poster should be done electronically using a Web 2.0 tool. Here some of Mr. Hurley's favorites which would make excellent presentations:

1) www.glogster.edu 2) www.prezi.com 3) www.animoto.com - find the free educational version!!

//Marat:// http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/363841/Jean-Paul-Marat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Marat#References
 * __Before you begin assembling your projects you should read about the ideas of each of your assigned candidates by using the following websites:__**

//Danton:// http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/151217/Georges-Danton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Danton#References

//Robespierre:// http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/505619/Maximilien-de-Robespierre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robespierre#References

Both partners should read through these websites and either mark them up using MS Word or www.crocodoc.com, OR take two column notes with CCQ's on your assigned reading. These will both count as classwork grades.


 * __//In addition you should seek out one more website to read and mark-up about your assigned Revolutionary Leader. Make sure it is reliable!//__**

This will be a lot of work! But if you work hard in class, you can be assured a good grade, as well as a strong understanding of your assigned leader.

The Haitian Revolution - a nation born from Slave Revolt


Begin by reading the following document and marking it up online:

media type="custom" key="10997342"

Easiest way to mark up online would be to use www.crocodoc.com.

You should embed or link your marked up document to your Revolutions page on your virtual notebook. Once you have marked up the document you should summarize the Main Idea of this document under it in your virtual notebook.

Once this is done you should get right to work on your timeline below, in which you identify how each event should be categorized: Social, Political, or Economic and why it belongs there.

Timeline of events in Haiti:

Today you will be constructing a timeline and a three column organizer on the HAITIAN Revolution, just as you did for the events of the French Revolution.

You should examine the following websites (it would work best if you follow them in order) to learn about the events of the Haitian Revolution. You should identify events, put them into one of the three categories (Social, Political, Economic) and identify what happened at the event and why it belongs in the category you chose. You should then put it on a timeline.
 * Good start: []
 * Intro to L’Ouverture: []
 * Further thoughts on L’Ouverture: []
 * Retaliation in France: []
 * Overview of the Haitian Revolution(with timeline of events): []

Suggestion for online timeline creation (You don't need to do this online, but it makes it a bit simpler to see)

www.timerime.com www.dipity.com

The reason for doing is because you will be writing an essay in which you examine change (political, social, economic) in both the French and Haitian Revolutions. Here is the essay question you'll be answering (we'll be preparing to write next week and writing the essay in class):

//**Explain how "revolution" impacted the political. social, and economic changes in France and in Haiti.**//

//**Here is the rubric on how you will be graded. Make sure to use it to help you write your best essay. You should strive to meet the criteria laid out in the "4" column:**//



You will need your work from this classwork today in order to complete the writing next week. This will be worth a quiz grade (pre-writing) multiple classwork grades, and a test grade.

//Additional websites that you can look at for additional information://

Do some research on the "Congress of Vienna" and summarize what happened at the conference in your own words. Use any of the tools listed on the below website: http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/Research+Tools

Student based inquiry - how do you think the common people reacted to how the Congress of Vienna drew the map of Europe.

Will the Congress of Vienna be a success or a failure?

Nationalism is a word tossed around after the Congress of Vienna. What is the relationship between Nationalism and the Congress of Vienna?

Assessment: You are given the opportunity to re-do the Congress of Vienna. Make a new map of Europe using the following website:

http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/Mapping+Tools

In order to do this you should research the original boundaries of Europe (as laid out at the Congress of Vienna) and re-draw those maps by using any of the tools in the website above. You should then re-draw your map on top of that map and post it to your Virtual Notebook.
