Democracy-Dictatorship Exercise
What do we know so far -- a game of fives
Your challenge is to create a group of 5 and put together a five slide presentation that explains the 5 most important things we need to understand about Crimea. In addition to having 5 people in your group, the following conditions must be met in your group:
-at least 2 of each gender
-three towns
-at least two different Morrell periods
Requirements for the slides and presentation:
-The Keynote presentation is independently assembled on all computers.
-Each slide only has one sentence (one thing you need to know about the situation in Crimea)
-Each person explains one slide and includes the source for the information and a quote from that source.
-For information use your Crimea notes (on your computer) or the Crimea News sheet (on your Google Drive)
Crimea Connections
We'll be doing an exercise where we'll list important themes at the top of a paper in columns and below each place articles and other things we've looked at and explain how they connect.
Overall Goal: Students can engage in research/inquiry to investigate topics, and to analyze, integrate, and present information.
