Together, you are to collectively produce a document (in this Google Doc) in response to the following prompt:

What are the main obstacles to revolution, or dangers inherent in trying to organize one?

You may wish to think of this in terms of practical advice to would-be revolutionaries. Imagine yourselves as consultants to the revolution!

You must make sure you respond with specific reference to the full range of texts we have read and discussed in class.

Ensure also that the document you produce is well-structured, organized, and coherent. It should have a beginning, a middle, and an end, and a coherent thesis, which may (and probably should) of course be broken down into discrete but complementary elements.

It is up to you to figure out how to organize yourselves and assign responsibilities and roles to tackle this task. The result will be viewed and assessed as a collective project, and if it is judged unsatisfactory, then everyone will be involved in rewriting and revising (and/or redoing) it until it is satisfactory.

Though I am giving no hard guidelines on length, I am expecting a substantial document. I think you should probably aim for ten pages (double spaced).

To complete this task in the time allowed, you may use whatever resources you deem necessary: books, notes, the Internet, whatever. You are free (indeed, encouraged) to talk to each other as you work together.

Good luck!
