Stalin's Consolidation of Power

Agenda 9/15:

1. Students reviewed the structure of the soviet government, consulting the diagrams they drew in their notebooks last class.
2. I further explained how Stalin gained power through accusing members of the Politburo of factionalism and having opponents be replaced by supporters.
3. Students read a series of documents about the 5 year plans, summarizing successes and failures and investigating the statement: Stalin intentionally killed millions of Ukrainians through starvation.
4. At the end of the period, students began making two sided posters (propaganda/historical fact).
