This The Guillotine French reading activity will teach your students about an old method of execution made famous by the French Revolution.

The guillotine is a scary reminder of a horrific time in history – streets running red with blood, severed heads held up before the cheering crowds. But it’s invention was for humane reasons, and the French weren’t the only ones to use it.

Learn about the history of this machine of death in this reading for intermediate and advanced French learners. Includes questions in French and in English.
