The activity provides an introduction to the main elements of the French Revolution, including identifying France as the country where the event took place, historical figures and groups involved, such as Louis XVI, Napoleon, and the people, as well as the Storming of the Bastille.
It also explores the motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” and some of the causes of the Revolution, including high taxes paid by the people, social inequality, the high cost of living, and the economic crisis. Finally, the activity reinforces the ideals of liberty and equality.
The activity begins with more concrete knowledge: students observe four flags and identify the country where the French Revolution took place. In this way, the images provide visual support for initially locating the historical event.
In the second question, students match Louis XVI, Napoleon, and the people with the roles presented in the activity: King of France, French general, and people who wanted change. Next, students use images of different monuments and buildings to recognize the Bastille as the prison that was stormed during the Revolution.
The fourth question introduces one of the best-known symbols of the movement by asking students to identify the motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” among four answer choices.
Next, students identify which situations contributed to the French Revolution. The options include taxes paid by the people, social inequality, and the high cost of living associated with the economic crisis.
The final question reduces the demand for independent writing by using a word bank. Students select LIBERTY and EQUALITY to complete a sentence about what the French people wanted.
This organization allows the material to be used as an introduction to the French Revolution before progressing to more complex topics such as the Estates of the Realm, privileges of the clergy and nobility, the crisis of the Ancien Régime, the National Assembly, and the different phases of the Revolution.
