Life in the Soviet Union Under Stalin

Today students continued investigating aspects of society under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. After investigating, they wrote a short newspaper article comparing government propaganda to the realities of life for many living in 1930s Soviet Union.

I also played the Soviet national anthem and discussed the period of Stalin's rule known as the Great Terror when many alleged enemies of the government were imprisoned, tortured, "disappeared", or killed.

Students also completed a peer check and turned in their logbooks.
