Happy New Year everyone! Well back at my classrooms we're neck-deep in the French Revolution. I'm wondering if any of you have any clever ideas to liven up note-taking.

Sorry I don't have a great idea for note-taking. But I do have a suggestion for a great card game that ties into the French revolution. It's called "Guillotine" and it's a blast!
