Constitution Test

Click on the title of today's blog to take the Constitution Test!  You may take the test today or choose to take it another day this week- but you must take it during class.  If you choose not to take the test today, please begin the assignment below:


Even the American Revolution took years to arrive at the country’s present Constitution. With upheaval gripping several Arab nations ruled by oppressive or corrupt regimes, here is a historical sampler of the twists and turns of revolutions. Many start out broad-based, but often not for long.
Revolutions from the past

What is a revolution, and how is it different from other kinds of revolts and conflicts? How do the protests in Egypt compare with historical revolutions? In this lesson, you will work together to define revolution and engage in research to help create projects that represent various historical revolutions around the world.

You will need this question sheet to guide your research.  Copy and paste it to a Google Document:

When your research is complete, make a project!  Use Glogster, PowerPoint, Animoto, Photo Peach, Prezi, Google Presentation, or some other creative way of showing the Revolution of your choice.  If you are feeling some technology overload, don't worry, you can also use plain old poster paper.

If you want an A:
1. The 6 guided research questions should be answered by the presentation.
2.  Write information in your own words rather than ""copy and paste".
3.  Get the facts straight!  It should be historically accurate.
4.  Wow factor:  color, music, presentation, neat, grammatically correct, etc.
5.  Finished on Thursday.
