One of my students is an ardent fan of Les Mis\u00c3\u00a9rables<\/em>. For the past few weeks, she has repeatedly asked if we can celebrate Barricade Day by building a barricade in our classroom. I laughed. But she was serious. I had never heard of Barricade Day. She was happy to fill me in. I hemmed and hawed. Finally, at our last class, it became apparent that this particular group would finish their video projects early. (They’re a pretty sharp, dedicated bunch.) I told my student that if she came up with a lesson plan that would teach the class about Barricade Day, I would give her 45 minutes to run the show today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure enough, last night she emailed me a lesson plan with a 350-word mini-lecture about the June Rebellion<\/a> of 1832, including images to share with the class and a short video. I honored my end of the bargain. at 1:45 sharp, we ended our regular social studies class and went to Paris to learn about the unrest there. At 2:00, filled with revolutionary zeal, we tore apart the classroom and built a barricade. (I did have two recommendations: don’t break anything and don’t get hurt.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the pictures my student shared followed by a picture of our 8th-grade version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
