For this assignment I want the students to watch This Video.


I then want them to write what they thought about this video in a few paragraphs following Writing A Quality Blog Post

This video could be a great video for someone who is just beginning to study Napoleon. It is missing some very important pieces of Napoleonic history such as The Hundred Days and his trip to Elba. The art in this video was very amusing and very much like a cartoon. It would be very easy for someone who wants to just learn the basics of Napoleons life to get it from this video.

The only problem I had with it was that I know an enormous amount of Napoleonic history so whenever I watched it all I could do was think of the things that was left out of it. The fact that they could miss something as important as The Hundred Days where Napoleon returned to retake his crown until his army was defeated again astounded me. Though it was missing some key elements this was a very good video.
