The French Revolution DBQ

Students will analyze 15 documents, answer 15 historical context questions, complete a sorting chart, and write a DBQ essay to review the French Revolution. There are 11 essay prompts for students choose from (one allows for the class or teacher to make one of their own). The answers are included where appropriate and the initial analysis part would be great for a sub.  ***Some of the sourcing is a bit generalized so that students have to place it in the historical context/event themselves.***

Sample questions include:
--How does Document 2 represent a cause of the French Revolution? 
--Identify the point of view of Document 5 and explain how it represents a cause of the French Revolution.
--Explain the historical context of Document 10. Which academic term could be easily paired with the excerpt?
--Does Document 12 represent the end of the French Revolution, why or why not?
--Summarize the purpose of the Directory and evaluate the extent of its success.
