Social Studies; Politics and Revolution.
Heggy, Joan
This quinmester course for grades ten through twelve emphasizes major causes and symptoms of revolution, and also examines other forms of change available to society. Goals pursued throughout the course are for the student to: analyze what happens, why, and the cost of a revolution; understand "revolution as a problem-solving technique"; instill an awareness of the nature of revolutionary struggle, and the possibility that a revolution "won" may ultimately be "lost"; analyze the type of society that exists after such a restructuring. Ten units are: 1) The different levels of change within a society and the ways to differentiate between them; 2) Causes of a revolution; 3) Application of the causal theories; 4) Students' generalization from data about the primary and secondary causes of revolution; 5) Application of generalizations; 6) Examination of the resolution of revolutionary activity; 7) Students' proposal of reasons for change in direction of a revolution; 8) Examination of the aftermath of a revolution; 9) Students' proposal of reasons why the goals of a revolution were met or not met; 10) Analysis of revolution as a problem solving technique. A list of resource materials and five appendices are provided. Related documents are SO 002 708 through SO 002 718, SO 002 768 through SO 002 792, and SO 002 949 through SO 002 970. (Author/SJM)
