    French Revolution may be a bit broad a topic to cover, but it could be good if you centered it around an important figure of the revolution.

    I'm doing the Hindenburg Disaster. In the middle of writing it up into the official booklets in class. Probably run into next week by time everyone's finished. Takes ages to transfer it in properly.

    Bein honest Che's my hero, and i do know a good bit about him. I was actually doin him for mine but my problem was I had too much to write about. If i was to recommend an angle it would be how he developed his Socialistic and communistic theories or maybe how he influenced Fidel Castro running Cuba. They are very interesting topics, some sources I would recommend are:
    Books; Che and Fidel A Revoluntionary Friendship and Motorcycle Diaries,
    Films; Che 1&2, Motorcycle Diaries,
    Documentary; Che which can be watched or downloaded for free on video.google.

    Quite honestly there are so many sources its hard to pick

    Or you could contrast the popular image of Che Guevara with the cruel oppressive nature of the regimes that he helped bring into power...

    Oo i like that one ! Thanks a bunch for your help guys ! .

    I was researching up more about him and i came to a conclusion that i dont like the che very much no offence to the person who replyed to me that does.
    so then i was thinking i could write about his failures or how ironic it is that he is now the face of capitalism as he has a capital brand when infact he despised capitalism . But im afraid that the whole thing wont be too ''historical'' and will be more like an english essay or something . ?

    What you guys think?
