I'm sorry that I wasn't able to post on the blog on Friday, I really had to get out of the city to get to my family reunion.
Today was a really bad to miss because we covered so much content. I gave you some time to read, highlight, and annotate the
Karl Marx Notes(p. 94-96 in the Social 30-1 blue study booklets),
the Lenin Notes (p. 97-98), the
Joseph Stalin Notes (p. 99-101), and the
Russian History Notes (p. 104). We watched the
A & E Biography "Joseph Stalin: Red Terror". While you watched this video, you were supposed to complete the
film study on page 115 of your study booklet.
We also went through
the Command Economy (p. 105-106), the
Structure of the Soviet Economy (p. 107-109), the
Soviet Economic System (p. 110-114). I wrote
Soviet Leaders Notes on the whiteboard, so if you missed class today, please get these notes from a classmate. I were also supposed to go through
Changes to the Soviet System After Stalin (p. 116-117) and
Gorbachev to Collapse Notes (p. 118-121). Your homework tonight is
the Economic Planning in the USSR (p. 122-129) section of your study booklets. I did a homework check on your
