Journal+Entry+2

Januaey 17. Today was the first day working on the project and the first thing we did was to divide the work that we have. Me and my group went to the library and did some research about Maximilien de Robespierre. I found some pictures of him and pictures of the reign of terror, and we also found some quotes. One quote that we found that i really like was "The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. " Right now we are only gathering information, pictures, and everything we need to put together the film. January 19. I made more research about his life and how he got to power. I found that he was loved by everyone when he was not in control but when he started to take control over France people started to hate him. Most of the information I found was on Modern World History, online. We haven't done much on the project but it is only the beginning and we first need to know what he did to be able to do the film

January 20. I found a power point which was very useful of all the French Revolution from the beginning. It also has a lot of useful pictures and good information

January 24. We are still working in finding all the information that we need about Robespierre. Today we worked in the library together, i found some pictures of the guillotine, robespierre, and the reign of terror. I also made some questions to ask Mr.Wilson i think we are doing good as a team and i dont think we have any problems so far.

January 25. The notes that we took today during class helped a lot because it explained of what party Robespierre was part of and how the king of France was overthrown. Tomorrow me and my group are going to interview Dr.Rizzo.

January 26. We were not able to do the interview but we are going to do it tomorrow. I found a very useful website that explains everything about Robespierre. How he was influenced by Rosseau. I also found a book about the french revolution that explains every aspect of the revolution in different parts.

January 28. We worked together in the project today, we started to write the script and how we are going to talk about Robespierre. First we are going to talk about his early life, then how he got the power, the reing of terror, and his death in the Guillotine. We found some music from the french revolution. Some of the songs are call "a change is coming", "the revolution will win", "the kind is dead", etc. An interesting fact that i found was that 8 percent of the people guillotined were arisocrats, 6 percent clergy, 14 percent middle class, and 72 percent were workers or peasants. Danny also filmed a little bit today but me and eddie could not help him beacuse we both had a basketball game.

January 29. We started filming. We went to some places around the school filming the french flag to use it in the video. This part is going to go at the beginning and at the end of the video.

January 31. We are doing the summary that we are going to use in the script of the video. We are going to talk a little about his early life and how he got to power and the rest is going to be about the reign of terror. We are each doing a separate summary and then we are going to put it together and get the most important parts of it.

February 2. Today I finish the summary about Robespierre and we are putting them together. We have almost all of the interviews done, tomorrow we are going to interview Ms. Hinkle and i'm going to talk to Mr.Buddy to see if we can interview him next week.
