I have a free French Revolution lapbook. Also, look at my page Homeschool Lapbooks – Powerful Tools For Mastery Learning and my page French Revolution 1789 – 1799 Unit Study & Lapbook for more ideas.
Sometimes I feel like we are slow go on our lapbooks, but we sure did savor our French Revolution lapbook. Too, I chose a lot of reading on this unit study for the boys so we took a little longer on it.
So today, I finish up by sharing books 8,9, and 10 which are What is the Reign of Terror? What is the Directory? and What is the Sans-Cullotte?
They are mini flip books that go in the center of the lapbook.
I like to use as much of the room as I can in the lapbook and the page too, but I don’t worry as much about how many minibooks to add as I do the content, the shape and how much information I think we will include in them.
That is why it’s easy to share them with you as I plod along and create them for my boys. Sometimes I plan ahead on my lapbooks and line out the minibooks, but this kind of project is one where we read and then do.
I did manage to get all three minibooks on one sheet of paper this time as well as the inside information pages.
You know how I feel about giving you a bunch of blank pages on lapbooks. Can you say useless?
I am being bad this morning because there are some great lapbooks with blank pages, but I would rather have a bit of information in case I’m tight on time with my schedule.
Then I can decide whether I want my kids to add our own research or use some facts given.
I figure you might like that same option too which is why I always try to include a bit of information on the subject.
I hope you can use this lapbook.

6 Books For Kids About or Set in the French Revolution Time
Although the French Revolution is not easy to learn about, great books can bring a subject to life.
The novel is set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop, but in reality a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking master of disguise and escape artist. The band of gentlemen who assist him are the only ones who know of his secret identity. He is known by his symbol, a simple flower, the scarlet pimpernel.
A Tale of Two Cities is Charles Dickens’s great historical novel, set against the violent upheaval of the French Revolution. The most famous and perhaps the most popular of his works, it compresses an event of immense complexity to the scale of a family history, with a cast of characters that includes a bloodthirsty ogress and an antihero as believably flawed as any in modern fiction. Though the least typical of the author’s novels, A Tale of Two Cities still underscores many of his enduring themes—imprisonment, injustice, social anarchy, resurrection, and the renunciation that fosters renewal.
In Search of Honor is historical fiction by Donnalynn Hess set in the late 1700s during the violent days of the French Revolution. This Christian fiction for teens tells of young Jacques Chenier who is trapped in a
prison stronger than the Bastille, a prison of bitterness. Jacques wants revenge for his father, his mother, his fellow artisans, and for himself. But escaping from a prison of the heart is no easy task. In Search of Honor is the story of this young man’s struggle for justice and truth.
Set in 17th century Italy, it tells the story of a young man who is driven to seek justice against a powerful and oppressive oppressor. Through thrilling twists and turns, Scaramouche must confront his own inner demons and risk his life to save his people. With thrilling action, a compelling hero, and a deep exploration of justice, Scaramouche is a must-read for fans of historical fiction. Featuring Sabatini's signature swashbuckling style and vivid writing, Scaramouche is sure to captivate readers and leave them with a lasting impression of its timeless themes.

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD ISABELLE IS A LACEMAKER IN THE TOWN OF VERSAILLES. One day as she delivers lace to the palace, she is almost trampled by a crowd of courtiers -- only to be rescued by Marie Antoinette. Before Isabelle can believe it, she has a new job -- companion to the queen's daughter. Isabelle is given a fashionable name, fashionable dresses -- a new identity. At home she plies her needle under her grandmother's disapproving eye. At the palace she is playmate to a princess. Thrown into a world of luxury, Isabelle is living a fairy-tale life. But this facade begins to crumble when rumors of starvation in the countryside lead to whispers of revolution. How can Isabelle reconcile the ugly things she hears in the town with the kind family she knows in the palace? And which side is she truly on? Inspired by an actual friendship between the French princess and a commoner who became her companion, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley offers a vivid portrait of life inside the palace of Versailles -- and a touching tale of two friends divided by class and the hunger for equality and freedom that fueled the French Revolution.
