1. Mr. Rick is always late, so he has to pay infractions. Unfortunately, the "professional photographer" of this blog was very tired to take photos, she forgot to take photos of the the first part of the lesson. When she realizes that, the photo is Mr. Rick setting up the PowerPoint.
After setting up the PowerPoint, he calls another student and reminded her about submitting her assignments because she doesn't submit her assignments. Then, Mr. Rick reads out the LdL 3 teachers for today. Again, there will be much little pictures than usual, so be aware of that.
Now, Mr. Rick will begin the lecture. He will teach about "Did the French Support the Revolution? Part 1".
2. Here is Mr. Rick teaching...
The thing that creates the revolutions are people. People take advantage of the misery they are having now (French revolution's example would be lack of bread), and they come through that and do something wrong (like, they will say that the lack of bread would be the King's fault). And then, because everyone is just so miserable they would believe it. Then revolutions happen. Just like that!
We can compare it to other places. Other time's revolution, like the Russian Revolution, World War 1 or World War 2. Mr. Rick talked about the Nazis, and how are they going to be successful. Mr. Rick said about a 4.5 kilometer long hotel with 10 000 rooms they're making and out of curiosity the blog author decides to take a look and here is what she found...

Now back to topic. There were people who supported the revolution, people who didn't support the revolution and people who didn't care at all. One of the people who supported the revolution is the Sans-Culottes. The meaning of Sans-Culottes is "without knee-breaches". Knee breaches are those tight pants that the aristocracy wear that ends just after your knee and is covered with socks. So, yes it might look weird now, but girls who wear a skirt that has some sort of pants inside is called a Culottes!
These people were the third estates who don't like the upper class. They don't afford clothes like the rich, so instead of Culottes they wear long pants. It also means that they don't like the rich people, and so if they do wear it the rich people would get confused as well. What they basically want is to have the right to vote for things (as these were only for people who had money) and have fixed prices for staple food (basic food like bread and salt). They also are under Robespierre and killed a lot of people.
This is only part one, so the next part will be on next class.
3. Mr. Rick stopped teaching and ask us to do our LdLs. The teacher is the photographer for this blog, so she wasn't able to photo herself, so here is one examples of the slides.
Then after that, Mr. Rick told us about the way we teach. Here is Mr. Rick...
There were people in other classes teaching about other topics. Here our topic is about the one above, but they kept talking about "The Storming of the Bastille." Mr. Rick says that even though we have to research well and also teach with depth, we also need to stay in topic and not go off topic. Mr. Rick also reminds us about Battlefield Academy, if anyone has managed level 2. Most were not done, as it is a very hard strategy game. This game is actually about thinking critically. It will help in the Cambridge Exams, and it needs us to think.
Now, the class ends. Tomorrow is the continuation of Part 2!
4. What we can do better next time is to listen carefully to the ones who are presenting in front. If the person is boring, don't complain, make it more interesting by asking some questions. Rarely we ask questions, so we must have some BHQs (Big Hairy Questions) for the presenter!
