FYI Cold War Propaganda
http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/lovehatepropagandacoldwar/episode1.html
Have you seen the new CBC program called LOVE HATE PROPAGANDA The Cold War? I have provided the link for you here. It covers the time period following World War II and deals with how Stalin used propaganda at the start of the Cold War. There are four episodes. I have linked to the first one. This covers the time period immediately following the end of the history alluded to in Animal Farm.

HWK - Intro Para
Complete a rough draft of an introductory paragraph for in class editing tomorrow. Be sure to put some thought into your theses!
Stakhanov and Boxer- a parallel?
Alexey Stakhanov was made famous by Soviet propaganda. Some parallels are evident between Stakhanov's incredible, and inflated feats, and Boxer's unrelenting pushing of himself as he works himself to death.
Essay Format
Look into previous posts dated Oct 4th for how to write good introductory paragraphs that grab your reader's attention.
Introductory Paragraph: 3 sentences
1st and 2nd sentences give general introduction

CS: concluding statement
Concluding Paragraph: is all Commentary, giving a finished feeling to the essay, pulling all your thoughts together. It relates back to the THESIS demonstrating insight gained in the writing of the essay.
Your body paragraphs may not all follow the CHUNK format of CD: 2CM exactly, as you present information about Animal Farm and then about historical events in Russia, but you do need to maintain the ratio. This is ok even if one paragraph is almost entirely CD, while another is almost entirely CM.
