Fast 5: Answer these questions:
1. Name a city in Russia.
2. True or false: The President of Russia is Putin.
3. Write down anything else you know about Russian geography, Russian politics, or famous Russian people.
Today we will learn how internal conflicts led to the radical overthrow of a government, creating a new political and economic system by:
1) Taking notes on the Russian Revolution.
2) Getting in groups of two or three students to read the section you did NOT read in the last class. (The Russian Revolution, pages 772-777 or Latin American Revolutions, pages 708-715.) Write summaries and questions. Get as much done as you can. (30 minutes)
3) After 30 minutes you will prepare to answer Friday's writing prompts. Select two. You will be able to use the book or any notes you bring to write your answers Friday. Though you may prepare your notes in groups Thursday, when you answer the prompt Friday you must work alone. Your answers must be at least two paragraphs each, be factually correct, and use good grammar, correct punctuation and spelling.
4) Wrap up: At the end of class please be prepared to tell the class which writing prompts you plan to answer, and one fact you will be including in your answer.
