4) Online Resources
Students have spent individual and collaborative time cybersleuthing additional sites and sources, and participated in research-based reflection and discussions. They'll continue to compile and organize categorized lists of ideas, questions, sources and links. They'll be able to cull from these lists, many ideas and additional sources for formative blog postings and summative VoiceThread work.
This post will serve as an initial space for sharing reflections, ideas, inquiries, responses, and resources and drawing cultural and historical comparisons with similar conflicts, seen in a global context – as well as synthesizing the excellent in-class discussion and found resources.
