This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 4e: “The Dreyfus affair: a Republic under challenge”, from the unit “Society, culture and politics in 19th-century France.” Its questions are about the Dreyfus affair, a Jewish officer wrongly accused of treason, the fight between Dreyfusards and anti-Dreyfusards, and a Republic under challenge that defends itself up to the separation of church and state.
Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, fill in the blanks, matching, short answers and timelines. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.
The game follows the French national curriculum: 4e is the third year of middle school in France, for students aged 13 to 14. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.
