Family of Louse XVI involved "Let them eat cake" Leaders of both sides

Famous battles

Stuff that led up to it * what the King did that was so bad * roll of the Catholic Church * taxes

Changes in everyday life

Did it effect other countries like Russia?

What happened to King & royal family?

Why they used guillotine so much

How the church was involved

Demolished monarchy forever

French Revolution

is about a social situation that got so bad they overthrew the French government

Bastille - many were imprisoned for no reason

Napoleon involved

Bad social situation (super rich vs. very poor)

Violent - used guillotine a lot

Time line for what happened

Outcomes of it

In what ways is KEW more cognitively “robust” than KWL?
