As a class we will create a master timeline of some of the revolutions from 18th century to early 20th century. This is by no means an extensive list, but the ground floor of revolution and calls for independence through-out the world. All of these revolutions and fights for independence we will be looking at have a common theme. Once we have the whole timeline created, we will examine that theme more closely.
We have already signed-up for your revolution/independence battle, now here is what you will be doing for them.
1. Discover the years in which your revolution took place.
2. Discover the major figure(s) that led the revolution. There may be one or multiple, and if your revolution had phases, list the major one for each phase.
3. Discover who they were wanting independence from - a certain country, ruling class, political party, way of life?
4. Discover major battle or events of the revolution.
5. Discover if they had outside help during their fight (either/or political and military assistance)
Once you have this information, you will construct a timeline of your revolution/fight for independence. You will list the major events (with photos/drawings) during the revolutions, and state how the revolution/fight for independence ended (again photo/drawing). Also on the timeline, for your major figures you will need a photo, quick bio, and their role within the revolution. And lastly you will need to include a map showing where your revolution took place.
Your group's timeline is due by the end of class on Thursday March 19 - we will then piece all of the timelines together in class on Friday and discuss the common theme among them all.
