Instructional Ideas

  • Use as a study guide at the end of the unit
  • Assign each section to a group of students; have them work on defining the words in their section before sharing out in a jigsaw activity

Classroom Considerations

  • Contains page numbers for a certain textbook, but key terms are adaptable to any classroom

Pros

  • Provides a thorough list of terms for the French Revolution, as well as the periods just before and just after the turn of the 19th century.

Cons

  • Does not provide activities, instructions, or tips for use
