Lesson #4 - Finishing the Russia Chronology
We'll start today with the Russia geography quiz.
Next, we'll finish up the Russia chronology activity that we began in class yesterday.
If time permits, we'll talk more about the Russia VIP project and the section of the "Global Progress Report, 2006" that you were asked to read for today - "Global Economy."
Here's a tentative schedule for the Russia VIP appearances. You will not be asked to move "ahead" from this day, but it is possible that we would move you back if needed... Here is the link to the guidelines for evaluating the VIP presentations.

REMINDER: Although we didn't talk about it much in class, I mentioned that you will be doing "Current Events" assignments a couple times in here. I emailed you a copy of the template for that. Your first batch of four stories is due Friday, January 27th. Since you don't have anything else due Monday, this might be a good weekend to start on those. You follow the template exactly. Four stories, one related to each of the regions that we study this year... Africa, Middle East, Russia, China.
