Leader: Part of this activity involves discussion with partners.
Please be sure that everyone has a partner before they engage
in the activity and help people keep track of time. Materials
Needed: Physical map of Russia. You may print a map here.
Take five
to 10 minutes to look at a physical map of Russia and make
a list of characteristics of the region that might explain the
development of St. Petersburg as a major urban center. Also,
list any limiting characteristics. Compare your lists with a
partner. What patterns do you see in your comparisons?
