Yalta Powerpoint Notes: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_gpVfHfuRG2NWlidVFrbXQxZjQ

Meeting of the Minds- If you were gone you need to choose a leader (Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin) to represent in meeting of the minds.  I have the directions to the activity below.

1. Briefly research about your character. (Who are they, what do they represent, What do they think about the situation?)

2. Write 3 questions that their character would want to ask EACH of the other characters (6 questions total).  The questions must be different for each character and written from your character's perspective.

3. On paper, introduce yourself (as one of the characters in a first person writing) and give a brief description of their roles or thoughts about the time period/event.
