Think of examples before, during, and immediately after the revolutionary events, giving examples for all three
Estates, e.g. name and briefly reflect on someone from the ruling aristocratic class, then from working and
peasant class, and from the middle class – bourgeois.
Use and cite at least once your e-book, a video documentary (see suggestions below), and an academic
source of your choice found at our library or online.
For video documentary consider watching Women and the French Revolution by Tom Richey:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG3Zg12YcUQ It has three parts, and all are about 10-15 minutes long,
free on YouTube. Ignore Tom Richey’s (mis)pronunciation of French names and places.
For a broader picture of the revolution consider watching the History Channel’s French Revolution:
https://youtu.be/Rxu5vhHktaQ (1 h 30 min). The quality of the video may not be superb, but it’s free of charge,
on YouTube.
Write a 600-word response. Include at least 4 dates/periods, e.g. the year when X happened, the century when
Y ruled, etc. Utilize and provide answers to the general historical questions – Who, What, When, Where, Why,
and How as you go.
Do make sure that when you use sources (your e-text, website, video, publication), the acknowledged sources
are less than 20% of the total words of your paper. Cite properly your sources: at the end of quoted or
paraphrased line, in brackets state author and page number, or simply name of website/video, and at the end
of the paper state the full citation. For illustration, see pdf attachment on MLA by Vanguard:
