Revolutionary Diaries: The Big Picture

Big Picture

This is one of those projects where you will need to read rather than search for what you seek. For one thing, several of your assigned countries were not even called what it says on your assignment (Chile was Chili and Bolivia was not called Bolivia at all). Border boundaries have changed numerous times, some of you countries fought more than one revolution, and using PERSIA+GT search terms is likes to produce meager results. The WONDER phase of your research is key. You need to start with a solid understanding of

  1. where your country is located
  2. what happened before and after your revolution
  3. who led it
  4. which groups were represented and which were not

I will start you off with History in Context : World, but then we have a few resources that are truly excellent for this project once you get into the INVESTIGATE and SYNTHESIZE stages of your research. 

  • Latin American Newspapers (purchased specifically of this assignment!)
  • Historical Newspapers

Use the Research Process page to access these resources. 

This is totally optional.
