Students,
Today we did an informal review that involved deep reading of the text book. This is, again, something I do about once a unit. Reading dense academic texts is a great way to practice reading material that your brain often doesn't even want to try to comprehend. Unfortunately that type of text is everywhere in our world and you will encounter it often. Lease agreements, contracts, job applications...these are all documents that you will have to force your brain to read, or you might get stuck with the consequences. Plus my reading assignments have the added benefit of preparing you for the test on Thursday!
Documents: None
Looking Forward: Official review for the test on Thursday
Reminders: Finals are next week!
1st six weeks: 27%
2nd six weeks: 27%
3rd six weeks: 27%
Semester final: 19%
Total 100%

Students,
Today we revisited the history of Russia in a much more compact and approachable way. We found twelve important dates and created our very own illustrated timelines. While this did cover very similar material as Friday the goal of this activity was to focus your knowledge and reiterate key points in Russian history. See post for December 6th for a brief note (and power point) on those important dates.
Looking Forward: Life skills day, reading exercise for Russia. TEST ON THURSDAY
Reminders: Finals are next week are you prepared?

Students,
Today we discussed the history of Russia. One of the main things I would like you to take from the notes today involve Russia's economy. In particular how Russia coped with poor conditions and neglected citizens.
1917 - overthrowing of the Czars
1922- Establishment of the USSR (communism)
1953 - death of Stalin
1980's - Perestroika
Review the concepts in the power point and ask yourselves; How these shifts in government or government policy shaped the citizenry of Russia?
Documents: http://imgur.com/a/tha49#0 going to have to 'zoom in' on this one
Looking Forward: Its the weekend
Upcoming dates: Unit 7 Russia test will be on Thursday the 12th.

Students,
Today was our last day for Russian physical geography, and we focused on climate. We created a map representing the varied climates of what we are considering Russia (this includes several smaller countries) and determined what physical features influence its climate. Following is an insightful quote from one of my students concerning what we did today.

Students,
Today we took a closer look at the physical features that make Russia...Russia. I would really like you to focus on Transcaucasia (the culturally unique area in the Caucasus mountains) and the resource rich Siberia (with its cold and harsh climate). These two areas will show up on your test multiple times, and with less time to prepare we need to focus all the harder to succeed.

Looking Forward: Russia notes scramble, a fun activity to help you organize the information from the physical notes. So to prepare for the assignment review your notes!

Students,
Today we finished up our Russian physical maps. I would highly encourage everyone to buckle down and focus on this unit. The test is difficult and we only have 7 days to cover the information. I am confident that we can knock this unit out of the park but we need all brains and attitudes on deck.
Looking Forward: Physical notes for Russia.
