Ukraine+Teacher's+Page

*Teacher's Page*

This wiki is intended for use within a middle school classroom. I have adapted some of the activities for use in an early elementary school classroom. This wiki is for students to expand their knowledge on Ukraine; it's geography, history, culture, politics, and economics. This is not meant to be an introductory activity, but a challenging activity toward the end of the unit on Ukraine and it's place in Europe. Have students go through each page, taking down notes on aspects that they knew little about before starting the activity. Have them click on links throughout the pages to go more in-depth on pieces that they would like more information on.

__Teacher Background__
I am a senior at Illinois State University majoring in Elementary Education. I will graduate in May 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree in education. Next semester, I will be student teaching in a fifth grade classroom. I am active in my sororty, Pi Beta Phi. Our philanthropy is literacy and we support it throughout the community and within organizations such as First Book. I am also a literacy tutor through ISU's Borg Reading Center. I like to spend time with family and friends during my free time.
