Today we had a double - four current events today! Marijke, Richie, Paula and Haley Rae all presented on four interesting topics.
The class then had time to work on their Print Media Public Service Announcements. We have taken a look at what makes a good PSA and what is a bad one. Our first PSA's are on Rwanda... we have gone back to 1994 and are responsible for getting word out to the public about what is going on between the Hutu and the Tutsi. They say that one of the greatest crimes of the Rwanda Genocide is that the international community sat back and watched - our goal is to make sure that didn't happen!
When we work on our Sudan case study, students will work on a Digital PSA. This is all part of becoming active citizens! Learning these tools will help you know what to do if you ever feel the need to take a stance!
We also began the introductory part of our Sudan case study today.
PSA's are due on Thursday!
