Journal Post #1

*If your username for tumblr doesn’t have your first name, you will need to write your name at the beginning of your post so I know it’s you. That’s if you want credit :P*

Write a journal entry/blog post regarding what you watched in class today. Use the following guiding questions for your blog post. Please write this in paragraph form, do not just answer these questions one by one like a worksheet. Avoid general and vague descriptions. Use details from the video to support your post. You will be graded on the quality of content and thoroughness of your post. Here’s their website as a reference: www.congojustice.com

  • Describe the crisis that has and is happening in the Congo. How did this situation come about?
  • Describe the types of people involved and how they are being affected.
  • How did you react when you learned about the reality of the crisis in the Congo?
  • In class we talked about the statement “learn from history, live accordingly.” Explain what you’ve learned from today and if it has or will change your life in anyway. Is this something you will share with others about?
