Stalin Consolidates Power

Agenda 9/12:

1. Students reviewed the political structure of The USSR.
2. Students watched a clip from a film about Stalin and listened to a podcast, taking notes about Stalin's actions and attitudes.
3. Students participated in a simulation meant to explain the state of paranoia and fear created by Stalin during the Great Purge. While they took a quiz students accused other students, rightfully or not, of cheating. Students accused of cheating were sent out of the room.
4. Students reviewed the purge, reading pages 122-124 in the Pearson text.
