Hist 12: Notes from Wed., 9 March

Today, we read a passage from Howarth on War Communism and the NEP.  I talked about some strategies to use when reading for content: use your highlighters sparingly.  We also discussed the DeMarco questions that related to the Civil War and the new Bolshevik government after November, 1917.  We also took a bit of time to discuss the elements of a political cartoon.  I was pleased with the answers you gave, but some members of the class did not prepare adequately.

For homework, please ensure you've read DeMarco, pages 56 to 62.

We will check Exercise #14 tomorrow.

We will do the unit final on Monday or Tuesday, next week (I don't really like giving tests on Mondays).

REMEMBER, I NEED YOUR PPT SLIDE FOR THE RUSSIAN POLITICAL GROUPS BY FRIDAY.
