B) Five questions about the 16th/17th centuries.  These should be things that have you confused, or things you'd like to focus on with our review time next week.

Please note that what I'm asking you for is simply good planning for your essays.  It is not extra work!!  Many of you do some or all of these things already, and in any event it won't take more than the 15-20 minutes of planning you should do anyway for the DBQ, or the 5-7 minutes of you should do for the FRQs.

Finally, you will turn in your notebooks prior to the exam.  I will grade the usual textbook elements for chapters 26, 27, and 28.  I will also be looking for your highlighting/notes on the four readings listed below.  You should be able to pick these up after the exam.

1. Finish Barzun reading.

2. See Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Notes:

  A.  Basically, we're going to use the Barzun reading to interpret the role of Elizabeth in the "Monarch's Revolution."  This is actually a transition into Chapter 15 in your text, and a way to bring the "Age of Exploration", the Renaissance, and the Reformation into the political context of state-building in early modern Europe.  In the Barzun reading you should be on the lookout for the characteristics and benchmarks of monarchy; in the movies you should be looking for how Elizabeth I does or does not fit into that picture.  Note that Barzun does not really place Elizabeth in the category of monarch - her successor, James I seems to get the nod - but I think there's ample room for discagreement, especially in light of the fact that Barzun sees this revolution as coming along over the course of several hundred years. I will determine questions (think essay) for you to deal with after I've seen the new movie, but they will certainly be along the lines of what I've asked you to note above.

  B.  It would be a god idea to be familiar with some of the inaccuracies in the 1998 movie (I'm sure the new one will have a bunch too!).  Please check <http://www.moviemistakes.com/film407> to get an idea of them.  Additionall, both movies will be more enjoyable if you have a handle on the cast of characters.  I'll track something down to give you Thursday in class.  In the meantime, be aware that the minute details are to be considered secondary to the bigger picture of Elizabeth as a very young queen in a very tumultous time.  What she has to do to secure her throne and adcance the interests of England is broadly true, even if specific scenes (Like, "Play a Volta!", or the board game scene with Dudley, probably never happened.

  C. A more historical look at Elizabeth can be found at <http://englishhistory.net/tudor.html> .  I encourage you to look at some of Elizabeth's letters and speeches.  They're short, and you'll find them in the primary source area of the website.

1. Finish reading the Richelieu packet.

2. Elizabeth assignment:  Write a 2-3 page essay, using the handout from class.  Essays must address the question on the handout, and I will be looking for references to both movies, the Machiavelli handout, the Barzun reading, and your textbook.  You may also use material from the websites listed above.

3. Money and permission slips for MFA trip (over)due.

1.  Be ready to discuss the clip from Danton that you saw in class Friday.  How do Danton and Robespeirre embody conflicting tendencies of the revolution?  What elements of their personalities underscore the conflict?

2.  Napoleon research.  You need to visit two websites: a) Napoleon.org <http://www.napoleon.org>, and b) the PBS wesite <http://www.pbs.org/empires/napoleon/n_myth/youth/page_1.html> in order to gain some insight into Napoleon and his time period.  Start with the PBS material.  The page I've given you starts the biography, and if you go to the small portraits on the left (there are four of them), the second, thrid, and fourth pictures are links to continuing the biography.  Read those.  The go to the Napoleon.org website and look through the "Essential Napoleon" links.  Be sure to look at the First Empire "Key Paintings."
