It leaves far for frameworks of an investigated rate of a history. The material of a site shows real work of the ambassador in America. The material found in the Internet, tells about biographies of presidents and a chronicle of events. Value of work consists in own search of a material.

    We used such information tools and technologies during completing our project: 2 computers IBM with Pentium4, librares, books, Internet. Our computers are the homes computers. All information is search ourself. We prefer Internet resourses and books.

  • In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Doors to Diplomacy project both on-line and in person.

    We often need to live in our life as a diplomates. Most of all it links with our studing and relation with teachers. All teacher are another and they have power from puples. Why find the language with teacher that not like you? It is a question of real diplomacy. For example, teacher of drawing not like Nikita, and teacher of physics not like Dmitry. All tools of diplomacy are put down. Nikita thinks that it is more difficult to speak with teacher of drawing then with America during the "cold war". Dmitry put down "the heavy weapon" - his mother. Which end would be - the history show.

It is authorized the law on copyrights. We express gratitude to authors of electronic encyclopedia Rubricon for interesting and full biographies of presidents of USA and a detailed chronicle of events of the soviet-American relations. These relations deserve that many sites will be devoted to them.

The diplomat is completely special complex of business and personal qualities which we would like to develop in ourselves.
