Bloggers Update

I know that everyone is anxiously awaiting student posts but we have to get into a lab before that happens....here is why. You need to have a Google accout (i think) and I need to invite you to post (i think). We will get this figured out and use this to our advantage!

TEAM 6 BLOGGERS!!

As part of the course we will now have one or two students per week guest blog about a topic that we are covering in class. Justice K.(9-1), Josh O. (9-3) and a student from 9-2 to be named later will be our guinea pigs and help us try and turn this site into a useful resource. They should have their posts on the site by Tuesday night. Keep your eyes peeled!

SOVIET UNION

Most of you probably don't remember the Soviet Union and the hate that was between the Soviet Union and the United States. Well, here is a good a pretty good reference site for background information on the Soviet Union.

If you click on the link below, you will see a YouTube clip of a parade in the Soviet Union during the Communist Era.

I will also try and add the Soviet National Anthem. In the meantime, skim the reference site and try to get an overall feeling for what life was like in the Soviet Union!

RUSSIA

If anyone in any of our sections knows somebody from Russia, has a relative in Russia, has Russian arifacts, or has anything cool related or about Russia please let me know so we can share it with the classes. These chapters are much easier to tackle when we have personal connections to the country we are studying.
