Russian Revolution Assignment: Both assignments will need to be completed in class today.
Assignment 1:
Your first assignment today is to find your character in the following link:
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Russia.htm
You will find that you will need to look around in the website a bit because different people are different sections. As you do the assignment write down the following questions with answers on page 77 in your notebook.
Create an eulogy (a memorial speech that is given at the funeral of the a person) for your character. You will need to include the following in your eulogy:
+5 major events from your life
+Your involvement in the revolution
+How you died
This should be between a half and full page in your notebook. When you are done, ask the sub for a stamp on your notebook page. You will not get a stamp if you have less than half a page so use your amazing English skills to be detailed and eloquent.
