Hi all,

I am currently planning SOW for the beginning of the developmental stage of my PGCE at the beginning of Jan. I have to plan one of the lessons on the relationship between the French and American revolutions. How one may or may not have affected the other for example. The French Revolution is not my strong point and the American i am completely clueless on! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jo McKenna

look at Tom Paine as your focal point as his ideas heavily influenced both Revolutions.
If you start with him and do some background reading particularly on the revolution before and after then you should be ok:

But there's no substitute for helping yourself and boning up.
