This weekend, you must do the following things...


1.) Talk with your partner. get their telephone number and email.

2.) As a group, you must complete a Country Profile. I recommend that you use worldatlas.com and The CIA World Factbook.

3.) As a group, you must research the topic. Who are the Child Soldiers of the LRA? Why are they there? Who do they affect? How can this problem be fixed?

4.) As a group, you must answer this question; "How does this problem affect my country?" I will give you a hint. If you are The U.S.A., Great Britain, France, Russia, China, India, or Brazil, then you are on the Security Council. Learn what that means (ask Anne, Annie, Eric, and Sabrina). If you are not, you are a country from Africa which is more directly affected by the LRA.

HINT: Some of your teachers are actually from these countries. Perhaps you should ask them what they know about the Child Soldiers of the LRA.

5.) As a group, you must write a Position Paper. See the attachment below for more.

*.) Anne, Annie, Eric, and Sabrina, can you please email me pronto!!!



*** OK everyone, now that you have your homework, I expect you to turn them into me by Monday, August 23rd (Taiwan time) before 20:00.



Email me at mtgibby1985@gmail.com please.




I look forward to seeing all of you very soon!

Mr. Gibson




P.S. "pronto" is Spanish for 很快. We use it in English too.
