By Monday, you need to have completed your first draft of the introduction to the research paper. This must be submitted to turnitin and printed out for class.

The introduction is a maximum of 450 words, and must include:

background information
your thesis
an introduction to the categories that will be used to support your thesis and answer the research question.

For next class, you will continue to have work time in order to complete this first written part of the paper.

If you are behind, you MUST complete reading and writing outside of class time to get this done.

Read and annotate and chart p.7-25 of the unit 6 packet #1 on Poland. The chart is here: HOA Unit 6 rdg chart 1 2011-12.doc.

Unit 6 is on Resistance to Soviet control in Eastern Europe between 1945 and 2000. We will focus on three countries – Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. There will be three separate packets for this unit.

The ideas in this unit are parallel with our study of Cuba and Chile – how do smaller countries adapt or resist the domination of their larger neighbors, and how did the Cold War impact this dynamic? In order to understand these issues, for each country study we will look back to the end of WWII in 1945 to make sense of the situation.

The information on Poland in the years after 1945 should be (hopefully) at least somewhat familiar from unit 2 and the consequences of the decisions taken at Yalta and Potsdam.
