Online Classes
Russian Culture Courses for Teens
Designed for teens who love literature, history, and the arts, my online classes introduce students to Russia’s great and varied history, artistic and literary masterpieces, and cultural, artistic, and political movements. Classes will meet weekly and last for an hour and a half. Our class format will usually consist of a 20 to 30 minute lecture, student presentations, and group discussion. In addition to weekly reading, short writing assignments about each week’s reading and a final paper will be required. The combination of lecture, presentations, discussion, and writing is designed to prepare teens for the college environment.
