You can find a lot of interesting items that have
special historical significance for sale on some online auctions. Here is what you
should do:
- Locate an online auction, such as Ebay, Amazon or Yahoo, or decide to use a
search engine such as Google, Hotbot or
Dogpile.
- Decide on some key words to use in your search; the better your
key word, the more interesting the items that you will find. For example, "Peter the Great" will
return a more specific list of items than "Russian history" will.
- You can search for anything dealing with Russian history
within the chronological (1600-2000) boundaries of the course.
- Find an interesting item.
- Be prepared to present your item (know your URL),
its historical significance and its interest to you and to the class. Five minutes maximum.
