    YEAR 5: THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND NAPOLEON (5 lessons) Contents Include: The French Revolution The Rise of Napoleon The Battle of Trafalgar The Battle of Waterloo Suggested Teacher Resources: A Little History of the World by Ernst Gombrich (chapters 34 and 35). Great Tales from English History by Robert Lacey (pages 350-353, and 358-361). The Young Oxford History of Britain & Ireland, pages 277-285. Scenes from the films Waterloo (1970), the TV mini-series Napoleon (2002) and La Révolution Française (1989). Lesson 1. Life in France before the Revolution In 1789, France was one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world. However, the structure of French society was essentially unchanged since the medieval period. The King, Louis XVI, was an absolute monarch, with no permanent Parliament. The aristocracy and the clergy were extremely rich, but paid no taxes. The taxes were paid by the ordinary people, many of them poor peasants doing backbreaking labour. After the American War of Independence, France sank deeply into debt, so with bankruptcy nearing and a bad harvest leading to food shortages, people started to demand change.

  • Horrible Histories
    Horrible Histories In our opinion, the Horrible Histories television programmes contain some of the best comic writing out there and Terry Deary’s original books are masterful. They injected bounce into many a lesson, regardless of the class’ age. They also raise questions on the relationship between comedy and historical tragedy. For an energetic and playful start, pair up pupils and ask them to debate which of two historical periods was more ‘horrible’. If you have the books to hold up as you call out, even better! e.g. Vicious Vikings or Stormin’ Normans? or Angry Aztecs or Terrible Tudors? Using some volunteers, perform the stimulus as a piece of Readers’ Theatre (script in hand). Once read, recap on what each character is saying, and let them discuss the different views in small groups: Janey - We wouldn’t want people joking about today’s tragedies, so it’s not fair to joke about the past, Chris – Maybe some things can be joked about, others not Andy – if enough time passes, anything can become fair game, Morgan – Books like Horrible Histories are there to entertain, and we should leave it at that. To let pupils show their initial thinking on each perspective, summarise the views on a pieces of A3 paper and place one in the middle of the room. Tell pupils that to agree with it, they stand closer, and to disagree, they stand further away. You can briefly hear reasons, but try to move to the next one fairly swiftly, and so on. Do they have any other thoughts on this issue? I’ve deliberately excluded mention of black comedy and gallows humour, in the hope pupils will raise these concepts themselves.

  • Irreverence and Play in Shakespearean Adaptations
    Irreverence and Play in Shakespearean Adaptations Edited by Marina Gerzic (The University of Western Australia) and Aidan Norrie (The University of Warwick) Four hundred years after William Shakespeare’s death, his work continues to not only fill playhouses around the world, but also be adapted for various forms of popular culture, including film, television, comics and graphic novels, digital media, and fan cultures. These adaptations introduce a whole new generation of audiences to the work of Shakespeare, and are often fun, playful, engaging, and “irreverent, broadly allusive, and richly reimagined takes on their source material” (Cartelli and Rowe, New Wave Shakespeare on Screen, 2007, 1). Proposals are invited for chapters that engage with the various ways irreverence and play are used in Shakespearean adaptations. Accepted authors will draw out existing humour in Shakespeare works and/or, and as a pedagogical aid used to help explain complex language, themes, and emotions found in Shakespeare’s works, and more generally make Shakespeare ‘relatable’, and entertaining for twenty-first century audiences. Topics could include, but are not limited to: • Irreverence and play in media related to the “Shakespeare 400” celebrations in 2016: e.g. Shakespeare Live! “To Be, or Not to Be” skit; Horrible Histories: ‘Sensational Shakespeare.’ • Irreverence and play in “biographical” Shakespeare adaptations on stage and screen: e.g. Shakespeare in Love (1998); Bill (2015); Something Rotten! (2015); Upstart Crow (2016). • Irreverence and play in Shakespearean adaptations for the theatre: e.g. Andy Griffith's, Just Macbeth!; The Listies’, Hamlet: Prince of Skidmark; Reduced Shakespeare Company; Shit Faced Shakespeare; Something Rotten! • Irreverence and play in Shakespeare adaptations in children's and YA literature: e.g.
