Genocide Quiz, Part 2
Take the quiz, and turn it in!

African Map Quiz
If you haven't taken it yet, you have to take it today.

Research Notes, Part 2!

  1. Choose an area of focus that you want to dig deeply into.  See the handout linked above for some ideas, or come up with your own idea.
  2. Read carefully over the requirements for research notes
  3. Start finding some sources!  Remember, Wikipedia is NOT allowed at this point.
Go to the website linked above to review the difference between primary and secondary sources.

One thing they don't cover on that website are interviews with perpetrators or survivors.  These would also count as primary sources, as would official government or UN documents from the time period.

We'll talk more about how to research effectively on Wednesday when everyone is here, but for now, here's this amazing infographic (see link above).

HOMEWORK
None!  Please walk into class with a solid and specific topic you would like to research next week.  Remember, this topic will be what you will be focusing on for your Op-Ed writing and your political cartoon, so make it something interesting!
