Wednesday, April 11th: The Ivans
Two Ivans and the Time of Troubles
We are going to take a few notes about some of the earliest Russian czars. Download this note guide for help. I have some interesting stories for you and you will spend as much time listening as you will typing. Keep in mind the current state of Russia as you take these notes.
Democracy in Russia
You had to complete a reading about democracy in Russia. We will be discussing this reading and a few other interesting statistics that I found. Be prepared to comment as I will not be afraid to call on students who are not raising their hands.
Homework
You have another article to read tonight. This article doesn’t actually deal with Russia. Instead it examines whether or not the United States is ready for a female president. The article is very biased. Feel free to criticize its conclusions. We will be discussing this article in class tomorrow.
