Task 4: A blog post on the Darfur Genocide
The topic of task 4 is the Darfur Genocide issue. We will be looking at this serious crisis in class and in the "Blog Topics" section of this blog and then you will write your post.
We are going to learn about an ongoing conflict in which horrific injustices continue to happen while the world, for the most part, stands by silently.
By writing a post, we will be helping, even if just a little, to raise awareness in our country about this serious problem.
To get an initial idea of what's happening in Darfur, watch the following video which was made by a group of secondary school students in the USA.
