Welcome, friends:

Please take a look at the preview/sample :)

This is an incredibly fun and engaging simulation on the topic of the French Revolution.

-

CAN YOU SURVIVE THE FRENCH REVOLUTION?

Take your students through a simulation where they get to be the a young kid living in the heart of Paris during the French Revolution. Students face dozens of interesting scenarios AND get they get to choose from several options. Using hyperlinks within a Google Slides presentation, students make decisions, with the ultimate goal of surviving the French Revolution.

Students get to put themselves in the shoes of a historical figure as they experience real historical events, all while making important decisions. Everything is historically accurate, too.

While the simulation takes some liberties, students will learn that the issues that led to the French Revolution were quite complex!

Setting:

"June 1789

You are a 15 year old baker’s kid living in the heart of Paris. Some people would say that you are part of the 3rd Estate - you don’t know, you never really cared, you just know you have to wake up early every morning and bake bread with your dad to sell. Your family never really talked politics before. 

Except in the last year, it seems like something is in the air. When you pass by the cafés on the way home from the bakery, you see and hear young men (and even women!?) talking excitedly over their wine - they can’t stop talking about the king and his bankruptcy, and how unfair it is that only the 3rd Estate has to pay taxes, and not the wealthy or the Church.  

But it’s not just them. Everybody all of a sudden has opinions about the King, about taxes, about the law. "
