Lesson Plan

Pbs Teachers: Was Napoleon a Hero or Tyrant? (Lesson Plan)

Curated by ACT

In this instructional activity, students examine comments from contemporary historians and come to their own conclusions as to whether Napoleon should be defined as a hero or a tyrant. They will explore and discuss historical viewpoints after Napoleon's defeat in 1815. The lessons call for in-class viewing of segments from the PBS documentary "Napoleon," but many useful resources, requiring only Internet access, are available at the documentary's online companion site.
