Revolution Debate Roles

In small groups, students become stakeholders from the American, French, and Haitian revolutions. They use simple source cards (pictures and short phrases) to present positions on who should lead and why, then rotate to defend another position. Students listen for one counterargument and respond with a quick movement and a sentence. The activity foregrounds multiple defensible viewpoints and helps students notice how reasoning supports claims.
