Back so soon? Okay - tomorrow we're going to work on finishing up our commercials but we're also going to start a discussion on KONY2012.
This issues around the Ugandan reality are many and complex, and we will deal mostly with the social media and youth activism aspects of this phenomenon in our discussion, however some background will make you a better informed critical thinker AND lead to a better grade for the socratic seminar we will hold in stages this week.
+ There's some scandalous new news to read about!
First, read ONE of these articles:
- http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/16/kony-2012-director-detained-and-hospitalized/
- http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/17/kony-2012-meltdown-stress-wife?newsfeed=true
Then continue reading in ONE of three areas listed below.
As you read, FORMULATE AN OPINION that you can DEFEND by POINTING to what you have READ.
Finish your article as HOMEWORK if necessary.
