=Project 5.1 Russia Meets The United States= You will be assigned a partner for this project. One of you will be the United States and the other one will be Russia. At the end of this project, you will teach each other about your country based off of the guidelines I give. You will do the research on your computer and you will create a plain keynote to help your partner with notes. The partner listening to the presentation will take notes. It is very important that we give each other good information so that we learn the most important elements of the involvement of both these countries in World War I. Remember, when you present to your partner, you are discussing the topic with them, not just reading off your paper. Research well and be note taker friendly.

YOU WILL HAVE ONE FULL CLASS PERIOD THEN ABOUT TEN MINUTES PREP TIME ON THE SECOND DAY.
