Today we finished off the notes booklet by doing a short reading on Khrushchev and Brezhnev. For the rest of the time you had some time to work on your group project, the Soviet Timeline. This project now has a due date, it's due on Thursday, November 4th. Today was your last class period to work on this project. I also collected the Totalitarianism Webs, which were due today.
