This lesson builds your vocabulary of words you will use in this unit. The words are:
Let’s start with the word revolution. It comes from the Latin root revolvere, which means “to roll back or to happen again.” One of the word’s early uses in English was to describe the movement of heavenly bodies, such as Earth revolving around the Sun. The word also has a special meaning when used in relation to government. A revolution is a sudden, major change in the government. A revolution often results in replacing an old government with a new one.
Draw or upload a picture that shows any type of revolution.
Ask for volunteers to explain their pictures. Ask students if they can name another type of revolution. They may be familiar with the Printing Revolution (printing press), Industrial Revolution, digital revolution, etc. Ask: How are these revolutions similar to a political revolution? They all contributed to radical changes in the way people lived.
