Teaching Strategies: For students who are having trouble mastering the different aspects that
they will learn from this Unit on the French Revolution and Napoleon, I will have the students
complete several different types of activities to that they will have a better understanding of the
material. By having the students work together in these group activities, it will give the students
who have mastered their learning of the material the opportunity to teach other students. In

complete the post-tests and pre-test for this Unit.

 Have the students work in several groups to complete a Jigsaw Activity based on a Close
Reading from a primary source documents that has been translated from the French

French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon.

Napoleonic era and they will Turn and Talk with a fellow student about what they have

Enrichment Opportunities:
 Type I Enrichment – I will invite a historian from the University of South Carolina or
from a local community college as a guest speaker and have them talk to the students
about they have discovered from their research on the topic on the French Revolution
and/or Napoleon. The day before the guest speaker comes into the classroom I will have
the students work together to create a list of different questions that they want to ask the
historian when he or she arrives.
 Type I Enrichment – I will take the students on a virtual tour throughout France and many
of the other kingdoms in Europe by having the students look at Story Maps on the French
Revolution and Napoleon using the website https://storymaps.arcgis.com/en/. In these
Story Maps, this will give the students the opportunity to explore on their own so that
they can discover what they want to learn more about through additional research.

I will have the students work with historian to help them solve a problem that they are
having trouble figuring out while doing research on for a project in this Unit. By having
the students work together with the historian, they will learn to master the skills they need
to complete their project.

the French Revolution and Napoleon. For the project I will let the students’ choice their
own historical event or person from this Unit and allow them to get creative to complete
the project. They can create a diorama, write a poem, create a play, etc. . . .
