  1. BREAKING NEWS!

  2. This just in… • Another family has come and invaded your home. • They’ve taken everything that belongs to you. Your house, your room, your belongings! • You still have to live in your home but your entire family lives in one room and you can’t live your house freely- the group that has invaded blocks your house and you can only leave at certain times during the day

  3. What’s going on? • Think quietly: How does this make you feel? What could have possibly made this happen? • Power Conference: In your group, discuss how it makes you feel. How are you going to handle it? What are you going to do to regain your living space again?

  4. Let’s Think! • Do you know of any time in history in which something was taken away from a group of people? (Think about culture and the past) • Think about current times- is there anybody or group of people that are experiencing something being taken away from them?

  5. It’s happening RIGHT NOW! • In a part of Ukraine- in the Ukrainian peninsula called Crimea • Towards the end of February, Russian forces invaded the Crimean peninsula and took it over leaving the Crimean people stuck and forcefully guarded by the Russian army

  8. Crimea and the Crusades • During the Middle Ages, the Crusades happened as a result of conflict over land and culture. Although this is a past problem, the Crimeans are experiencing the same issue today as Russian forces have invaded and taken over their territory because of cultural conflicts. Students, acting as the Crimean people, will develop a plan to make peaceful contact with the Russian government and army and reclaim their borders.
