US Grade 8 - 11
In this class, we will discover the story of one of histories most fascinating countries: Russia. From the Eurasian pagans to the Soviets to Putin, trace the rise and falls the world's largest country and their shaky place as a former world power. There is no country quite like Russia. For most of history, the Russian people have had no say in the governing of the country, yet they often make their will known- whether that is choosing a new Czar or "taking care" of an old one. This class...
This class is taught in English.
Students will trace Russian history from the early 900s to present. Students will evaluate Russia's place on the world stage. Students will discuss major plays in Russian history and their impact on Russian people.
I have been interested in Russian history for a very long time- really ever since I saw the movie Anastasia as a child. From there, I have read many books about Russian and Soviet history, including studying Soviet history at the university undergraduate level. This class comes from many, many student requests, as Russia is often a major player in other world events that my classes cover.
Homework Offered
On the last day of class, students will present an argument about which event or person has had the greatest positive impact on the Russian people. They may prepare for this in any way they choose, including slides, an essay, or images. Students will respectfully discuss one another's arguments and perhaps come to a consensus at the end for which person or event had the greatest positive impact on the Russian people. If preferred, students may purchase the accompanying book and read along with the class with pages listed in the syllabus.Assessments Offered
