Analyzing and Evaluating a Revolution

DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK:
You are a historian working on a new project looking at Revolutions, specifically how they progress
and the level of success they achieve in meeting their goals and making society a better place. Your
job is to analyze a revolution of your choice, looking at how the stages of a revolution apply to it, and
then evaluate the whether or not the revolution could be considered a success.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Choose a revolution and understand the causes and goals of the revolutionaries. It will
probably help to use the same revolution you have worked on for your speech.
Understand the course of the revolution and be able to see the different stages through which
the revolution progressed. Remember, not all stages apply to every revolution.
Understand the outcomes of the revolution, both intended and unintended, and make a value
judgement as to whether the revolution was a success. Were the goals of the revolutionaries
met? If so, was the cost worth it?
Communicate your findings effectively through a Prezi (see example Prezi provided by your
teachers)
