Mr. Barry's Block 5 & 6 today - January 30, 2020

#Serfs4Life,  Well.  Remember at the beginning of the year how I  told you how amazing my immune system was because I am around YOU all day?  Turns out that came back to bite me in the bottom.  Sigh...  I  am home sick again today gang and I am so sorry.

I would appreciate the following be done today, Thursday, January 30, 2020...

We're done with the Industrial Revolution and now it is time to talk about the NEXT Revolution: French!  This revolution is different than the previous two when it comes to the definition.  THIS Revolution will actually overthrow a government!  You will need a computer and headphones for this one. 

Please watch the two flicks below on the French Rev. then take a packet from the behind my desk on the floor near my coffee maker (you should see them) and answer the following Q's for a HW grade.  The packets are yours to keep.  These Q's are due by the end of the class TOMORROW, Friday, January 31, 2020.
