If you missed today's class, here are the topics that we covered today: I gave you some notes on Gorbachev and perestroika (from the overhead projector), you did a little bit of reading in Chapter 8 (pgs. 211-212, and pgs. 216-217). Additionally, I gave you the Chapter 8 Quiz study guide (a copy of it appears later in this blog). We also read Chapter 4 in Animal Farm. I also gave you some comprehension questions which covered Chapters 1-3. For homework tonight you have the following:
