Добро пожаловать в класс!!
Yo!! We're gonna be talking about thE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION!!!

WATCH A FEW OF THESE:
Here's a video to watch if you like listening to dramatic guys with a kind of weird voice.. (not Mr. Betts) What if the Russian Revolution Never Happened? after about 6:30 it starts talking about the What Ifs and you can watch that if you'd like.

Here's an introduction if you like listening to dramatic guys and fun animation The Russian Revolution

This one is done in a courtroom style, one side defending Lenin and the other against him. I liked this cool TED ED talk, even if his russian accent isn't that great...  History Vs. Lenin

Here's real Russians sharing their views a hundred years later. The old man at the beginning was sharing TRUTH! What do Russians think about the revolution?

Heres Khan Acadamy, If you enjoy it. He talks a bit slow for me but that's fine. To each his own, yo.  Overwiew of the Bolshevik Revolution (also I know I put a typo in the link on accident. Deal with it.)

This one made me laugh because it's like an eleven year old kid explaining history and he's adorable.. or... acceptable... if you don't want to call him cute... A KID EXPLAINS THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

Listen to this song from the Anastasia broadway play about a man remembering the invasion of the Winter Palace years after the event The Neva Flows

 Come prepared with a short 2-3 minute presentation about what you learned from the videos you chose to watch. It can be a poem, a short story about how you would feel if you were alive during 1917, explain it in a bad russian accent, interpretive dance, a song, a russian themed snack, a real Russian person to talk about it, Lenin's body from the Red Square, a skit, or whatever you'd like! PS, If anyone actually brings Lenin, I'll give you like five bucks or something
.
I feel bad that I have to say this, but if you haven't done the work, please don't come to Journeyman. I tried my best to make it as simple and as fun as possible for you guys but it's not fair to the other students or me as the mentor if you didn't do all your homework. I want this to be fun and it will be if everyone does what they're supposed to! But I sincerely hope that all of you get it completed!

Bring a snack if you'd like to and please send me a message if you're coming so I can know how many people to plan on for the simulation and for a special snack I'm bringing for my COMRADES!

I'll see you in the Red Square, Loyal Comrades!
