Monday, April 9th: The Beginning
The Beginning
A couple of days ago, we discussed the “end” of Russian history. Today we will turn to the beginning of Russian history. Just as we did with the colonization of Africa, we will use a set of images to draw conclusions about Kievan Rus, the first “incarnation” of Russia. You will get into a group of two and use a series of images to answer some questions about Kievan Rus.
