Napoleon Bonaparte: Hero or Tyrant Critical Thinking Activity

Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most complex figures in world history. Viewed by some as a tyrant and others as a hero, historians still struggle with the correct historiographic interpretation of the French Emperor. This activity encourages students to read, sort, discuss, and defend various historical facts in an attempt to help them develop a fact-based interpretation of Napoleon for themselves. This activity is perfect for leading into a Socratic Seminar (rubric included), Debate (not included) or argumentative essay (not included).

Help your students think like historians with this simple activity. Lesson instructions are included with this download in order for you to guide the classroom activity.
