The French Revolution

The aim of this lesson is introduce the types of Government that existed within Europe in 1780.

Students are given a map of Europe in 1780, from which they learn the various rulers and how they each individually ruled their countries, making links and connections between them as well as recognising their differences.

They will also study contemporary accounts of France and evaluate the reasons why the seeds were sown already in France for a revolution.

The plenary requires students to use their knowledge from the lesson to complete a multiple choice quiz.

The lesson comes with differentiated materials, suggested teaching and learning strategies and is linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.

The lesson is fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit.

French Revolution Bundle

The aims of this bundle are to investigate the causes of the French Revolution, how it changed the lives of French people and its consequences for Europe and the Wider World with the rise of Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars. I have also created and used these lessons to challenge and engage students and to show how much fun learning about this part of European history really is. By studying this unit, pupils will be able to make connections, draw contrasts, and analyse trends within this period of history by using an enquiry based question throughout all the lessons. Students will learn and understand key historical skills throughout such as the change and continuity of the Government of France in the Eighteenth Century, the causes and consequences of the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and the similarities and differences of absolute monarchs such as Louis XVI of France, and Frederick the Great of Prussia in comparison to George III of Britain. They will also learn about the significance of the Tennis Court Oath, the Storming of the Bastille, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte as well as different interpretations of Marie Antoinette and Maximilien Robespierre. Finally they will create relevant, structured and evidentially supported accounts in response to claims that the Terror was justified, Britain had every reason to fear Napoleon or that Louis XVI deserved to be executed. The lessons are as follows: L1 Introduction to the French Revolution L2 The French Monarchy L3 The Three Estates L4 Louis XVI financial problems L5 Tennis Court Oath L6 Storming of the Bastille L7 Execution of King Louis XVI L8 The reign of Terror L9 Maximilien Robespierre (free resource) L10 Support for the French Revolution L11 Napoleon Bonaparte L12 Napoleonic Wars L13 Legacy of the French Revolution (free resource) All the lessons come with retrieval practice activities, differentiated materials, suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate. The lessons are enquiry based with a key question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. They are fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit. I would highly recommend assessing students at the tend of this unit of study, using GCSE style questions from your chosen exam board. If you have any questions about this unit, please do not hesitate to contact me via my shop for further information.
