Tuesday, April 17th: The Fall of the Romanovs
Factors in the Fall of the Romanovs
Last night you read about some of the events that led to the fall of the Romanovs. Use the reading to make a list of all of the different factors that brought down the tsars. Be as specific as possible. We will share your lists after about five minutes. Eventually, you will want to download these notes and take a look at them.
Remaking the Revolution
On Thursday, we will be recreating the Russian Revolution. Rather than playing yourselves, you will be playing an assigned part. Some of you will be supporting one of two options. Others of you will be undecided Russians who are questioning which option they are going to support. Right now, I will hand out the parts and give you some time to meet with me and to prepare.
Homework
Complete your Russian Revolution preparations by Thursday. I would spend about 45 minutes on your preparation.
Continue studying for Monday’s exam. Remember, you can use notes on this test, so work to take advantage of that.
