- Students began reading the first five chapters of George Orwell's allegory about the Russian Revoution Animal Farm.
- As students read they took notes on one character and drew parallels to historic events from Russian history. In their logbooks they drew two timelines: one for the history of the Russian Revolution and the other for the book. Historical events included: Marxism/Theory of Communism, Policies of the Tsar, Fall of the Tsar, Stalin vs. Trotsky, Civil War, Industrialization & 5 year plans, Stalinism & the NKVD, and the exile of Trotsky.
