Some thoughts on the documentary, Chechnya: Republic of Contrasts
1. Remember our discussion about the general history of the region (Caucasus) 2. Use this to remember that all Muslims aren't Arabs: the Muslims shown here are Europeans, in Russia. 3. Interesting to see the impact of modern technology and rebuilding after the devastating wars. 4. Notice the traditional ways that are still kept by the Chechan people. Don't forget to try to find your own connections between CCA #23 and the in-class reading. You will be able to use your notes, and will have a hard copy of both articles to use as reference. The writing assignment will be limited to 15 minutes. MC List:
Be ready for the writing assignment on Tuesday.
