=Project 2.2- French Revolution Video Clip= We will use imovie for this project. The objective is to create a __Two minute__ imovie that effectively covers the topic you are given. Everyone will be assigned a part of the French Revolution to cover. You are to do research on your topic and put as much useful information into your imovie as possible, while making the video creative and easy to understand. You must use three different sites to get your information and they must be cited at the end of your presentation. For this project, you cannot use wikipedia. When we are finished, we will have a class discussion where you will have to tell everyone about your topic. I will grade you on your response to the discussion as well as for your actual video. You will be graded on how well the material is covered and how well your video is put together. I expect to see plenty of images and I expect them to be cited at the end of your presentation. USE EASYBIB.COM TO CITE YOUR SOURCES!


 * Before you start the video:**
 * -Give me your citations.**
 * -150 words on your topic that answer the questions from #1.**
 * -Write this in pages, screen shot the word count and paste it onto your wiki.**

Most of the ideas used in the revolutions were taken from Enlightenment thinkers. Now you will become one. You will be assigned an Enlightenment thinker from the list below. Your job is to research your person and take notes on their most important views as well as some autobiographical (about their life) information. You will present your person to a small group in the class. During your presentation, you must become your person. You should speak as if you are them. You can only use handwritten notes to go off of. Remember, the more you can speak without reading your notes word for word, the better. You will create a 6 slide Keynote that includes pictures and 2 important facts on each slide. This keynote should go along with your hand written notes and should serve only as visual representation of your presentation. You must tell your group members what the most important information is and what they should take notes on. When we break into small groups, the audience members must take notes on each Enlightenment thinker. You will be graded for the notes you take in your group as well as for your presentation. You will also be graded down for reading word for word, what you have copied and pasted. We want good, helpful lectures. You can do it!

AFTER WE ARE DONE, WE WILL GO OVER THE PHILOSOPHERS TOGETHER AND TAKE A QUIZ TO TEST OUR KNOWLEDGE.

For Montesquieu you must cover: The spirit of laws and separation of powers. For Rousseau you must cover: Social Contract and his ideas on education. For Hobbes you must cover: The natural condition of man and the leviathan. For Locke you must cover: Influence on the Declaration of Independence, natural rights and the theory of mind.

When doing your research you should consider the following questions: -Where was this thinker from? -What is his background? -What were his most famous writings? -What ideas/philosophies were most influential to the French and American Revolution? -What philosophies were in opposition to his?
