Monday, February 5th

Today is the day! You'll give your speech and take notes on others' speeches.

• Take four English words from list four and write excellent sentences that use each correctly.

• Some of you did not complete this on Friday. It is worth a lot of points and will be essential to writing your final paper. So you can have some more work time to complete it. For every character, you need to make an argument about who or what they represent from the Russian Revolution and you need to include two cited quotes from the text as support.
