Napoleon in the News assignment due Thursday 10/22 for all classes

Napoleon in-class essay will be on Monday 10/26 and will be out of 50 points.  You will be responding to one of the two essential questions (revolutionary or tyrant, or talent or luck).  Use the week to plan your response - creating an outline is recommended (you won't be able to use it while you write the essay, but having an idea of what you're going to write ahead of time will be helpful).
Here is the rubric (given out in class) and tips on the intro and thesis.  Also, here is the exemplar response from earlier this year that outlines the rules of writing.

The Napoleon Empire series videos are online!  You can find them here:
Part 1 ("To Destiny"), Part 2 ("Mastering Luck"), Part 3 ("Summit of Greatness"), Part 4 ("The End") - you'll recognize parts 3 and 4 from class.  Parts 1 and 2 focus on his early life and rise to power, and are definitely useful to see if you have time.
