03.19 - Paraphrase Game and Occupation Current Information

We started today's class with a paraphrase game based on an article about Russian activities in the Ukrainian region of Crimea. Working with a partner, everyone was asked to paraphrase one piece of the article (see below) maintaining correct English conventions and citation. We then reviewed responses and talked about correct citation. The section of the article and an example paraphrase are below.

Example summary: Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych was forced out of Ukraine and went to Russia which lead to pro-Russian forces taking control of the Crimean region of Ukraine (BBC News).
(This example uses language that is different from the original and has a correctly formatted parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence)

Everyone had the rest of the period to work on their occupations project. We are now working on the second section which looks at current information about the occupation. While people were working I met individually with people to check in on their progress and answer any questions they had.

Current Information (700 words)
A one sentence answer to any of the questions below would serve as a main idea of your paragraph.

How has technology changed the way this occupation is done?
