Lesson #10 - Kievan Russia
Let's clean up a few odds and ends at the top today.
VIP reminders and schedule
Handout on Ancient and Imperial China group presentations
Reading on "The History of Russia to 1917"
Format for Ancient & Imperial Russia and China test on Friday, February 10th
Test format: You will learn how to write "identifications," as well as continuing with a multiple choice portion. (You will also write an essay again before too long...) It might be early to think about a test that is still two weeks away, but let's take a quick look at the Ancient & Imperial Russia and China Exam.
Identifications: You will write on your choice of 5 of the 8 identifications on the exam chosen from the list below. You may have 10 words of "notes" for each of the 16 possible identification during the exam. You will need to turn in these notes, and I reserve the right to count symbols, acronyms, etc. as one or more words.
Russia Identifications
Primary Chronicle
Cyril
Golden Horde
Ivan III (the "Great")
Time of Troubles
oprichnina
Pugachev
"Bloody Sunday"
China Identifications
Confucius
Taoism
Shi Huang Di
Kublai Khan
Ming Dynasty
Manchus
Taiping Rebellion
Opium War
There will also be 20 to 25 multiple choice questions, and they will be divided evenly between Russia and China. You are not allowed any additional notes for those questions.
Kievan Rus will be our topic for today. You will want a copy of this Kievan Rus/ Mongols note-taking guide.
HOMEWORK: Some of you have Russia VIPs coming up this week, and, of course, you all are doing one of those at some point. In addition, the Ancient and Imperial China presentations are beginning on Friday. We won't be collecting any additional assignments this week from you, but you should have this Russia chapter you received today reaad by the end of Thursday. After that, it's back to China for a bit...
