Studio Session Reflection 1

During the first Studio Session my groupmate and I researched the basics of Ukraine's history. I was not too familar with the country and this is what lead me to originally choose Ukraine because I wanted to learn more about it. My groupmate and I had very informative conversations about what she had heard from recent news and I shared information from an NPR show that I heard around this time last year about Crimea. We then went to Wikipedia to get the general gist of the story. I found an article that had a chronological timeline of events so that helped to catch me up. My groupmate also found a YouTube video that was very helpful and explained Ukraine's political past dealing with the EU and Russia and it also discussed things like the Orange Revolution. Now that I have a general idea of the events, next session I plan to look at how the citizens of Ukraine voiced their opinions and views on the internet and social media.
