Welcome to Semester 2… and a quick review of the Russian Revolution.


I hope you all enjoyed your break and are all ready for a new semester.  Remember, you all begin the semester with an “A”.  What you do from here on out will determine whether you keep that “A”.  I have already planned the first two weeks of class and the assignments you will have are already listed under the UNIT 7 ASSIGNMENTS page.  If you want to keep current on the notebook.  Take some time this week to make sure you have it up to date before you fall behind.  Also, I have posted some videos below to help you understand the topics we are going over the first two weeks.  Take some time to review them if you are having trouble understanding the topics in class.

Part 1 – This will help you understand the causes of the Russian Revolution


Part 2 – This segment will help you understand the period between the two revolutions, and events leading to the Bolshevik Revolution.

Part 3 -
