GEN-Week of Jan 6

Welcome back to Genocide class. I hope you were paying attention to the news over your break. There were many global issues that emerged in relation to our class. From ongoing fighting in the CAR to tragedy in Russia to derogatory gestures in the soccer world. The world did not see peace this holiday season at all.

You have leaned about many genocides from me and our wonderful guest speakers.  It is now time for you to teach the class about a humanitarian crisis.
Your group will be tasked with the following:

1.Read your articles together. Now search for a short video and one more article online to help you better understand the crisis.

2.Make notes on the following aspects of your crisis.
-Who is affected/involved
-Where is this taking place
-Why is this happening
-What is exactly going on
-when did this start and when was the situation most critical
(All members must have this handed into me for marks by Wednesday)

3.Find your country that is involved on a map

4.Show a picture of the key person(s)

5.Write a creative imagined paragraph from the point of view of a child that might be affected. Please use proper spelling and grammar.

6.Write one paragraph showing where on the stages of genocide you believe your crisis is and why.

7. Put all of this on a power point presentation and be prepared to present by Thursday. The powerpoint must be emailed to all group members.

Everyone must speak in the presentation.
