Homework for the Weekend 2/7

1)  Watch the Sochi Olympic Opening Ceremony (it will be on Friday night at 8pm - but you will also be able to stream it on youtube later)

• What symbols of nationalism do you see present? Why is nationalism important in an event like the Olympics? 
• What did you like about the Opening Ceremony? What didn't you like? 
• If you could ask the Opening Ceremony organizers one question, what would it be and why? 
• Do you think Russia showed a 'true' example of its history?  What did they leave out?  Why do you think they did? 

In a blog post on your blog, answer some/all of the questions above about the Sochi Opening Ceremonies.  

2)  Meetings about possible research topics on Wednesday.  You should have three ideas to be narrowed down.
