The Revolution Guidebook Project

This unit we have focused on revolutions throughout history and the modern day. We have had many discussions about how a revolution starts and why it is important in society. There are many factors that go into a revolution, we have discussed the French revolution extensively. In fact, we had a trial about what people felt, how it affected them, and ways it could be improved.

My project is about the Cuban and Egyptian revolution. I centered the project on the pro's and con's of revolutions. My question for the Cuban revolution is how a revolution can benefit the people and my question for the Egyptian revolution is how it can harm them. I found some very interesting and it was an overall controversial topic. I found that many people had different opinions as to how revolutions can harm and help people.

Your video was very informative and had many pictures that correlated to what you were saying. Also, you read your quotes which was a nice touch. :D

I like when you talked about the Cuban Revolution where they had what they needed but they didn't have the freedom, and compared it to the EgyptRevolution where they had to fight to get what they wanted.
