Revolutions Storybook Project

Name: _______________________ Revolution: ______________________________

Congratulations! You have been hired by Gray Publishers to create a childrens book that teaches children (ages
7-10) about a revolution of your choice.

Choose a Revolution (Glorious Revolution, French Revolution, or Haitian Revolution) and turn the story of the
revolution into a childrens story with pictures or comics.

Each book must be a minimum of 10 pages. Each page must have a color picture or comic, and text that
explains the events of the revolution. Use vocabulary that is appropriate for the age group, and be sure to
clearly explain any advanced vocabulary you use. To ensure that no important details are accidentally left out,
there is a list of terms that must be included in the storybook for each revolution. However, do not limit
yourself to these terms to complete the whole story. Some lists are longer than others, but that does not make
any revolutions book harder than another in fact, it probably makes it easier because it is so specific. Each
student will need to have a rough draft and turn in the final book on the assigned days to receive full credit.
