From Rebellion to Revolution!

I love the series Revolution from the History Channel a few years ago.  It came out back in the days of VCRs and I recorded them off my DVR so I could take out the commercials and show them in class without having to deal with fast forwarding. Luckily, thanks to some very generous donors, I know own it on DVD.

But, my DVD does not help you much if you are reading this from home because you missed today.

So, in case you missed class today, there is no need to fall behind.  You can watch this on your phone, tablet, Blu-Ray player or at any public library.  HERE is the link to the video or you can watch it from the box below.  If you need the hand out, you can find that HERE.  Hmmmm, apparently Google Drive is not in the "sharing mood" so I can't share the link at this moment.  Instead, I can copy and paste the questions until it plays nicely with me.  I will try again at lunch.  You can Copy and Paste it into a Document OR you can simply answer the questions on loose-leaf.  BE sure to number and title it!
