G and E Block: Please look at yesterday's post to access the 4-minute video on Lenin's New Economic Policy. You should be aware of what about War Communism wasn't working and why Lenin had to take a step backwards in his implementation of Bolshevism. You should not only be able to say why the NEP was a step backwards but you should also be able to say why Stalin thought it was so important to implement the 5-year plans. In E Block we debriefed the economic study guide (table and definitions), G block should finish it for homework so we can review it together tomorrow. We took a look at some of the DeMarco exercises, but you should all finish Chapter 2 (Ex 8-12) so that we can get into looking at Stalin in more detail.
We will soon be accessing the new Google Doc to summarize the Russia unit. I asked students to start to think about creative ways to show their learning in this unit. Here is an example:

Do you learn best when you can see the story as well as hear it? Hear is the Youtube link to the first of five segments of a good British documentary on the revolutions: Russian Revolution
