New Napoleon Movie

 

Darning Thanksgiving Weekend a new movie about Napoleon Bonaparte is coming out directed by Ridley Scott.  I literally can not wait to see this!  Napoleon had an extraordinary life - makes sense Scott made a movie.  The painting above is how Napoleon wanted to be displayed to the world!  He thought so highly of himself.  And for awhile he was on a roll.  France was in the middle of it's Revolution, and extremely vulnerable.  Napoleon took advantage of the situation that France was in.

He was doing so well Napoleon became emperor of France!  What makes that moment stand out?  He was in Notre - Dame de Paris, and took the crown out of the Pope's hands, and says "No one crowns me, but me!"  They painted that moment, and you can see it at the Louvre in Paris, France.

Finally came the end of Napoleon, and he was put into exile!  A little before that he is the one that sold Louisiana to President Jefferson  This movie looks amazing!  I hope it does not disappoint!

Colin Kaepernick taking a stand!

 

APUSH students must be able to write contextt for historical moments, or the topic of the Document Based Questions or Long Essay Question.  So today in class - 9/1/2023 - we gave context to this famous image of Colin Kaepernick kneeling at a football game.  We had the BEST conversation in each class!  Students get it!  My favorite context started "Prior to Kaepernick's stand..."  Such GOOD Writers!  

As we discussed this image every class told me about a series on Netflix called "Colin in Black and White."  It is so good!  I have watched 2 Episodes!  I would recommend it to all!
