Understanding Revolutions: Characteristics and Modern Examples

This project focuses on the analysis of modern revolutions and wars for independence. Students will research significant historical events, examining their causes, characteristics, and impacts. By collaborating with their peers, students will enhance their decision-making skills while ensuring every opinion is valued. Over four days in the library, students will prepare their presentations, which will be assessed similarly to a final exam. Key elements of a revolution, both violent and non-violent, will be explored to understand the dynamics of change in society.
