White Paper on Crimea
You will be writing a position paper on Crimea in which you will both explain what's going on in Crimea and , based on that information, explain what you think the United States should do.  In order to write the paper, there's a lot you need to understand.  So, the question is, do you feel like you are ready to write that paper?
-Brainstorm what's needed -- we'll write it on the whiteboard
-Determine how we're going to get the info.
-Set a timeline.

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:

-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)

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.
