Why Did the French Revolution Happen?

For the last part of the lesson, you will create a Flipgrid to demonstrate your understanding of the causes behind the French Revolution.

Objectives and Goals

The goal of this activity is to explain the main reason you believe the French Revolution and happened by citing evidence from the documents you have analyzed.

Procedure

The final task in this lesson is to write out a Claim, Evidence, Reasoning statement (or "CER statement"). The topic of the CER is:

What was the main cause of the French Revolution? Was it mainly a political, social, or economic cause?

First, use the CER template to write out your response.  On the next page you will create and upload a Flipgrid video in which you explain your CER to your teacher.
