Mubarak and Assad trial reflection
In this project I was a little nervous during the trail but I didn't physically sweat, it was more intellectually. I think we worked together well. Even though Jon wasn't here a lot he got his work done and helped out wherever he could. Alma was the leader and she made sure we had what we need. As a scribe I think Faith did great. Some improvement we could have made is better evidence, and better cross examination questions. I think I could have “stretched” myself more in getting work done on time because some of the things due were late and it made it harder to do a good job. I think this project would be under work ethic because I had to work hard to learn about the witness I was role playing and information about Mubarak that could prove he is guilty.
Free the Children project:
In this project we read Free the Children, which is about a young boy going to India to help fight child labor. We had to learn information about child labor and inform other about it. My group had picked child labor in the clothing industry. We found that many clothing company's that were popular had used child labor, some examples are Nike, and Victoria secret.
Genocide:
In this project we had to learn about different genocides and present them. My group and I learned about the Armenian genocide, which took place in 1915. The Turkish people had wanted the Armenian out of they country because of the Armenians rising power. 1.5 million out of 2.5 million Armenians died.https://docs.google.com/a/snths.org/presentation/d/1U78vja-oPqQ4HuEOOzIq0LxhVOfJms5ZbD8fRUmVCk0/edit#slide=id.p
Propaganda campaign :
In this project we read the novel Animal Farm and learn about propaganda and make a poster about a topic of our choosing. We decided to pick suicide prevention. I like this project because we had to work with a real world problem. I also learned about the facts of suicide.
