Russian Unit Study

I have let my son drive our studies in History.  We are taking a World History approach and he is deciding the topics he'd like to study.  Home school.  Freedom. :)

Below is my unit plan for Russian Studies.  This is on a Middle/Beginning High School Level.  To give credit where credit is due, I am linking to all of my resources.
