THEMATIC ESSAY QUESTION
Directions: Write a well-organized essay that includes an introduction, several paragraphs addressing the task
below, and a conclusion.
Theme: Change
Throughout history, political revolutions had many causes. These revolutions
affected society and led to many changes. The changes may or may not have
resolved the problems that caused the revolutions.
Task:
Choose one political revolution from your study of global history and
geography and:
• Explain the causes of the revolution
• Describe the effects this political revolution had on society
• Evaluate whether the changes that resulted from the political revolution
resolved the problems that caused it
You may use any example from your study of global history, but do not use the American
Revolution. Some suggestions you might wish to consider include the French Revolution
(1789), Mexican Revolution (1910), Russian Revolution (1917), Chinese Revolution (1949),
Cuban Revolution (1959), or Haitian Revolution (1791).
You are not limited to these suggestions.

In your essay, be sure to:
• Address all aspects of the Task
• Support the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details
• Use a logical and clear plan of organization
• Introduce the theme by establishing a framework that is beyond a simple
restatement of the Task and conclude with a summation of the theme
