Any help would be awesome ...
Right ... So I am almost finished designing my other assessment peice for a year 11 modern history course. The whole end-of-unit-test is an essay based on a question of what the causes of the Cold War are ... I need at least one visual and three written sources which are to be included in the exam package for the students. I have the visuals taken care of (two political cartoons and two propoganda posters) and two written sources (both for the American side). My issue is finding any written primary resources for the Russian side (I have been able to find the works of Lenin and Stalin but those only go up to the year 1940 - which is not of much help). Any ideas of where I can find something? I've already been on Project Guttenberg and the Stalin Library (which only, as aforementioned, went until the year 1940). Perhaps the Motov Plan ...
On that note, I am trying to decide between putting in either Clark Clifford's Memorandum to President Truman (1946) and Henry Wallace's Letter to President Truman (1946). Any thoughts? I am for sure including the Truman Doctrine (which very neatly outlines the American ideology and is of utmost importance). Or should I include NCS-68 (1950)??? Or should I include the Marshall Plan???
On another note ... I am so excited that there are only two more weeks. Other than finishing that peice up and putting together the rubric for it, as well as just tweaking a couple things on the English assessment peice I created I am done everything for this week and can get started on that literacy report ... It's not going as badly as I thought it would. I already have about six different reccomendations for a 10 week plan for this girl in year seven who has the reading capabilities of an eight year old and is completely not interested in reading books or working with a computer (and also lacks computer skills), Oh, wouldn't QCS be happy that I am implementing those bloody rich tasks haha... Boy, I almost loathe them as much as Productive Pedagogies (I mean, really, you didn't need to spend millions of dollars in research to come up with that: it is fairly obvious stuff). But I digress.
One month until Thanksgiving! Mmmm .... Turkey. It was not an easy feat finding a place that would order a turkey for us. We went to Woollies and they informed us they only get turkeys for Christmas (basically, we went in August and no they would not order one: they, in fact, laughed at us). The butcher in the Plaza across from Coles just asked what the special occasion was which is much nicer then Woollies was.
