The French Revolution is in full swing and we are approaching the Reign of Terror.  As of today, the classroom revolution is back on.  Remember, you must create a schedule to teach the points of the Revolution by the end of class tomorrow.  If it can’t be done, the revolution is completely crushed by me.
