Reading Notes: The Moderate Revolution, Part 2
Read Section 5, "The French Revolution," pages 94-100 in the iBook, Rise of Democracy. In your notebook, write Identification (I.D.) notes in outline form FOR EACH TERM BELOW, answering the following questions: Who? What? When? Why? Why is it important? (relate term to the big picture—larger themes in history, such as the rise of democracy, or the positive or negative impact the event or person had). WRITE IN OUTLINE RATHER THAN PARAGRAPH FORM. DO NOT WRITE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES. You may use a flash card application as well.  But, put the notes in your own words. BE SPECIFIC AND THOROUGH. List specific dates and specific people. Use a note format that allows you to study the ID notes and prepare efficiently for an ID quiz or test. Be ready for an in-class quiz.
