Today's lesson is focused on preparing the booklet on Stalin's rise to power.  I want you to work on your depth and breadth in relation to the booklet and also for the content of your 2000 word essay.  

1. Go to this excellent site on Stalin.  The site is Casa Historia at:

http://www.casahistoria.net/Stalin2.htm#2._Stalin:_Background_&_Personality

2. Click on 4. "The Terror" and explore the information there with particular emphasis on Stalin's rise to power and the succession.  Read the items on the succession.  Remember that you are also annotating Lenin's testament for the booklet.

3. Also read "Another View of Stalin" by Ludo Martens.

4.  Read the extract from "Twenty Letters to a Friend" by Stalin's daughter, Svetlana.

Remember to add these sites and the materials you read and take notes from to your bibliography.
