Readings - Russia 9th Grade Regional Studies - Mounds Park Academy

One thing you will notice is that there are fewer readings this quarter. As of now, almost all of the readings come from your textbook. (This is because more of what we study with Russia is historical then it was with Africa and the Middle East.) Readings on "current events" in Russia will be added as the unit continues, but the reading load will still remain lower than it was during our last quarter.
