mrksmodernworld.pbworks.com, as well as other sources, complete a Revolution/War Snapshot chart.

2. As you research, record proper bibliographic entries.3. Share your research with the other members of your groups so

that each has a complete Revolution/War Snapshot.4. Analyze the list of the Course Enduring Understandings (see list

above) and determine which relate to this “Revolution” or war.5. Find images, charts, graphs, etc that will help illustrate your

presentation and will inform your audience.6. Prepare your Powerpoint presentation. Include all of the above
