Listen to the mini-lecture on the CD-ROM by Professor Logunov about the evolution of the Communist Party in this period.

Write down any new facts or ideas about the transformations of the Communist Party in this period, especially with reference to the significant changes in Russian eocnomic policy of the period. In addition, note any turns of phrase the speaker uses that are typical of conversational scholarly discourse (as opposed to a written text). |

- Select one scene that you consider to be the critical turning point in the film. Prepare a short presentation explaining why this scene is critical for the film’s depiction of historical events and figures.
- Consider carefully the character of Ostap Bender: in what ways might Soviet audiences have found his character attractive, and in what ways might they have found him unattractive?
- How does the film satirize “NEPmen”? How does it satirize other social classes of early Soviet history?
- How might the satire of this film echo social concerns in the Brezhnev period?
- How might this film have been rewritten had it been made immediately after the NEP period itself (during the Stalinist era)?

- Look at sources relevant to your questions and gather information; take notes in Russian. Consider also images you may use to illustrate your presentation.
- Write an outline that could become a PowerPoint presentation to use during your talk.
- Make a list of vocabulary items from the text that you want to use. If you need more vocabulary, limit yourself to no more than 5 words that you look up in the dictionary.
- Expand your outline by writing a paragraph for each item.
- Review your presentation for coherence; use at least four cohesive devices from section 22–4 in your presentation.
- Create a PowerPoint or other multimedia presentation to illustrate your talk.
- Practice delivering the paper orally. Time yourself, and make your delivery of the presentation as smooth as possible. Record yourself while practicing the delivery of your oral presentation and review your recordings to help improve your delivery. When practicing, use notes, not the whole text. Each time you practice giving the presentation, reduce the amount of written text you are using; your goal is to be able to give the presentation from just a few written notes or the outline of your talk in the PowerPoint presentation.
