July 4 has come and gone, and now it is time to celebrate France’s national holiday, Bastille Day! Bastille Day is France’s Independence Day, it celebrates the storming of the Bastille, a famous prison, during the French Revolution in 1789. The revolution led to the dissolution of the French monarchy and to the beginning of a representative government. Holidays can be a fun way to explore other countries and their cultures with your class. Holidays can also be a good segway to some basic geography.
