Towards the Cultural Revolution

Agenda 10/6:

1. Students reviewed the reading from the previous class on the Great Leap Forward. They took notes on Mao's Words vs. People's Realities. Students then discussed how the book assessed four major events: Infrastructure projects, "The Four Pests", Steelmaking, and Communes.
2. Students were introduced to the Cultural Revolution by working on quotes in the style of Mao about the United States.
