GENOCIDE OR MODERN HUMAN RIGHTS RESEARCH
THE ASSIGNMENT: You will research one genocide or human rights violation outside of the United States. You will create an online exhibition for your chosen topic (www.wordpress.com, www.wix.com, or www.sites.google.com, youtube.com). The goal of your project is to one, call attention to the atrocity of genocide and/or human rights violations; two, educate the public on your topic; and three, show how we as a society can prevent the genocide/human rights violations (if you have chosen a topic that has happened, discuss what we can learn from your project to prevent future violations/genocides)—what can we, as a global community, learn from your site (what we can do before, during, and after to help)?
