Choice #1:

Students, select a partner and view the Power Point on editorial cartoons. download

Before doing anything else, read and apply It's No Laughing Matter.

Return to the Power Point and now apply relevant information from your reading about editorial cartoons.

Complete these tasks in one week and be ready to present to the class in the form of a debate.

Choice #2

We studied persuasive/rhetorical techniques in Julius Caesar a few weeks ago. Therefore, create a Power Point with a partner. Use the illustrations on the "Primary Sources" page of this website to explain the ethos, logos, and/or pathos of each of the three pictures. Which technique defines each picture the best? Why? Please analyze how morality is present in each as a connection to the rhetorical device. Consider the second essential question, "How can revolution be moral?"

Another option is to view these sources and complete the following Photo Analysis for a class presentation.

Choice #3

Consider the third essential question. Read the links listed in this section. Write a reflective journal or a letter. In your document you will take the position of an observer of both revolutions. Use the novel as a resource for the French side and the links as a resource for the American side. Compare the feelings of either Carton or Manette as the basis for your observations. Be creative, yet be accurate. This will eventually be preserved in the Library of Congress!
