1. Today, Mr. Rick got frustrated on why is there no PowerPoint for today.
Then he remembered that he forgot to prepare the PowerPoint for today's class.
It's okay, Mr. Rick uses his memory and the book to help him teach.
Today, we learn about "Why did the Revolution Erupt in 1789?" It was not much, because Mr. Rick did not prepare a PowerPoint. Mostly what we discussed was about how to answer Cambridge Questions.
2. The Revolution Erupted because of a few things. First was about the Economic Slump. There was bad weather in France during the whole year, which results in crop failure. In 1787, rainy autumn, mild winter, hot summer results in silk harvest failure. In 1788, the Rainy Spring, freak hailstorm in July results in terrible harvest. In 1789 the hard winter and bad frosts still have good harvest, but poor wine harvest.
The second thing was about calling the estates general. Because the government was bankrupt, no one could lend money or collect existing taxes or make new taxes, the King called the Estates General. The Estates General is made up of all the estates. They were asked to write lists if grievances and hopes for the future. When they were done, they thought that the King will fulfill it. But it turns out it wasn't, because the King was worried about something else. So they got angry and the Revolution Started.
3. There is the teacher today, but unfortunately the person who teaches is the one who usually takes the pictures for the blog, the rest forgot to take pictures of the person, so there is no picture of of the person. But here is an example of the slides.
Now, Mr. Rick gave us the activity where we need a piece of paper. It was the same activity like last class about how to answer a describe question, so it wasn't very new. We were introduced to a new question, "Describe the reasons why the people wanted government reforms."
Then, after we wrote those, we were asked to draw a mind map.
To draw a mind map, you draw a circle. After that, you draw six sticks poking out of it. And so, it was made.
And then, we write ideas on the six sticks. We need to research these ideas for now. This is the group researching...
And this is the rest of the class researching.
After that, we choose two which you think is the best one. Then we write an opening sentence. An opening sentence could be...
One of the reason the people wanted government reforms is because of unfair tax.
Then you use the second idea to make the second sentence. So the first part of the answer could be...
One of the reason the people wanted government reforms is because of unfair tax. Another reason the people wanted government reforms is because the people think the way France governed is bad.
The next step is to make a defense on the ideas. State why is it true or not true. Then, frame the answers correctly.
After that... it is the end of the class!
4. What we can do better is to pay attention to the person in front who is teaching so we will not miss any important things. And we also need to help each other, and not let one person do everything while the rest just play!
