History 12: Notes from Monday, 14 March

Today we discussed Stalin and the process he employed to implement collectivization and the five year plans - sorry, I put the notes on the whiteboard.  We also looked at two handouts and were reminded that we must be cautious about how we accept statistical information reported from a totalitarian state (any state?).

We ended up with a look at the structure of Russian classes and the evolution of the names of the secret police under the Tsar and then the Bolsheviks.

We looked at the structure of tomorrow's exam.  You can expect the following:

a) a timeline with key events
b) a fill-in-the-blank summary of events associated with the revolutions
c) give the what and so-what of vocab terms
d) multiple-choice questions
e) one short paragraph question associated with a graphic source
f) one long paragraph question (from a choice of two topics)

I have posted the political groups PPT slides you made to Slideshare.
