Haitian Revolution Test Review



Today you are going to do some independent review for tomorrow's Haitian Revolution test. If you are sharing a computer, please borrow headphone splitters so you and your partner can both listen. 

 You have two options for review sources. 

Option 1: Listen to a 15 minute podcast about the Haitian Revolution by clicking here:  http://15minutehistory.org/2013/02/06/episode-11-the-haitian-revolution/

  • Pros: This podcast is easy to understand and sounds like a conversation between two people. It is split into sections with main ideas posed as questions. There is a transcript so you can follow along with the audio.

  • Challenges: The podcast does not perfectly follow the order of the review sheet, so you will have to jump around a little bit. There are few visuals, so learners use pictures to help in understanding will not have a lot to go on. 
Option 2: Watch the 14 minute Crash Course video by John Greene by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A_o-nU5s2U
  • Pros: Crash course videos are funny and thorough. This video follows the review sheet very closely. There is lots of supplementary information that is engaging.
  • Challenges: John Greene speaks quickly, and the editing is super quick. You may have to pause the video a lot in order to capture information on your review sheet.
