Today, we will continue working with the concept map you developed. We will turn the conceptual relationships you identified into statements. You will list these statements and decide on 1 statement you want to focus on. You will use this statement as a topic. You will then write 1-2 paragraphs on this topic and post it to SeeSaw. This is a journaling/free-writing exercise to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts. Please do not use your notes for this.
Use the following Conceptual Understanding Rubric to guide the depth and details you include in your writing.

Sneak-peek: revolutions
What causes a revolution?
There are several factors that may lead to a revolution--rarely is there only 1 cause. Often there are underlying factors.
Consider the story of Alphonse the Camel -- was this not true for poor Alphonse's death? Revolutions are similar...it is not always caused by the final straw.
Let's take a look at a modern-day revolution to see how it began and what underlying factors may have been present that contributed to the start:
- Mohamed Bouazizi: The Spark that Ignited the Arab Spring (the globalist)
- The Arab Spring: A Year of Revolution (NPR)
