Homework for Friday October 21st, 2016

Hi everyone!

So, as I mentioned, we are starting our next round of research on conflicts.  We will be looking at lots of different conflicts that are happening right now!  Your group will choose one current conflict that you find interesting and research it deeply.

However, right now, we are just going to do some Finding Out, or some Exploring.

Within your area of conflict, your homework is to:

Find a news story in English from a good source that shows a current conflict in your area of conflict.

If you don't find anything using www.google.com then you can use the sites below.  Look for a "Search" button and type in your area of conflict to find specific results.

Then you can type in "Ethnic Conflict" or "Ethnic" and see what you find!  Be sure to ask for ideas from your parents, because maybe they have been watching the news and have an idea for you!  Pick one or two conflicts that you find interesting and bring in some basic research to share with class.

You can use:

Now here is the video I wanted you guys to watch.

Hopefully you can bring some questions to class and we can discuss what you learned?
Think about, what area is this conflict mostly in?  Does it have consequences in other areas? Which ones?  Write down your ideas and we will discuss in class.
