Find a project to support
http://www.globalgiving.org/dy/v2/content/browse.html
With one or two partners, choose a situation of concern in Africa you want to explore and learn about. Find at least 3 sources that describe the situation, what has been/is being done about it. You (your group) will write a report to present this situation and your findings, as well as your thoughts as to what was/is done.
The last step is a short presentation to the class to share your finding (a 4 to 6 minute presentation with at least 3 visuals - 3 slides on a keynote / 3 pictures presented on the doc camera). This step will take place after you turn in your report.
The report should contain
• a title
• a paragraph or two exposing the initial situation (where, when, who, what, why)
• a paragraph or two exposing what has been done so far and how the progress is monitored (what, how, by whom, when,...)
• a paragraph exposing the follow-up regarding the situation (what, who, why)
• a conclusion presenting your own thoughts about the situation and the help that was/is provided (each member can have a different view)
• 3 visuals (maps / pictures / drawings)
• the names of the participants
• a citation page
We will use 4 class time to work on this project + homework (Tuesday January 28th, Thursday January 30th, Monday February 3rd, Wednesday February 5th) - The report is due at the end of Wednesday class.
