Today in SSEnglish, Wednesday and Thursday, April 9 and 10, 2014

Here’s what we did today.

1. Study groups had one final time to complete:

Charting the Crisis

Unrest in Urkraine—Background

2. Groups should review the both Ukraine Glossaries by reading with a pencil each entry, marking up any confusing parts and leaving comments as to why, and additional comments that can help you understand and be able to use each word correctly.

Ukraine Glossary

Ukraine 2 Glossary

3. View each video link below more than once. Take notes on a clean page in your SSEnglish journal highlighting the key points made in each video.

1. “Video interview with Patricia Herlihy, professor emerita of history at Brown University, that explores the historical tensions between Russia and Ukraine over Crimea.”

2. “Second video interview with Douglas Blum, professor of political science at Providence College, highlighting the relationships between former Soviet Republics, including Ukraine, and Russia.”
