This activity serves to introduce the ‘big story’ of the unit.
You could use it in the first lesson of the unit, to help give students an overview of this fascinating unit about Kievan Rus..
Or, it would be a great homework activity: students could be tasked with reading the ‘story’ independently, and then answering the comprehension tasks at the end.
Help introduce students to creation and demise of Kievan Rus during this period. Your students will also read about the different invaders who attempted to control this important area.
This short activity also tells of the beginnings of the Rus – ian state.
