It may be too brief, but if you can use it, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Bastille. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two sentences, one a longish compound separated by a semicolon, and three comprehension questions. Despite (or may because of) its brevity, it is a good general introduction to this hated edifice. It might therefore be a useful tool in introducing the French Revolution.
