[LIT] Russian Ideas

[TLP]

My students, 6-8th multi-age, will be starting Lit
Circles (more like a combination lit circle ideas with
a focused  book group) with a Russian theme. I am
looking to combine some Geography, Social Studies,
History and Lit together. I know one book is "The
Endless Steppe." Is "I Am David," about Russia? I  Has
anyone done a Russian lit group and or taught about
Russia that could offer some resources or ideas for a
Russian Steppe activity? I will share what ever I
compile! Also I am thinking of having the kids show
their learning through a letter, journal or diary
writing activity that will tie in the reading with the
history.Thoughts?
