Divide the class into small groups, assigning each a different role—revolutionaries, monarchists, peasants, and bourgeoisie.Each group researches their assigned perspective, focusing on their motives, challenges, and views on key events like the storming of the Bastille or the Reign of Terror.Set up a classroom debate. Each group presents their perspective, arguing their stance on whether the Revolution was justified and its impact on France.After the debate, conduct a class discussion. Encourage students to reflect on how the Revolution could have been handled differently and its long-term effects on French society.Have students write a brief reflection on what they learned about the complexities of the Revolution and how it relates to issues in modern society.
