French Revolution/Napoleon Project

Revolution or Napoleon. This poster must identify key information about your topic and
why it is important to the study of world history. Besides the use of your text, you must
provide TWO outside sources on your topic. Once all of the posters have been
completed, you will go to the other posters and gather information for a comprehensive
overview on this era in world history.
