Africa News from 20111

Find one news article from 2011 dealing with a specific country in Africa from the region you were assigned.  In a Journal to Blog entry, write a two paragraph response to the article in which you both summarize the article AND point out the significance of what has happened (why this is even news worthy).  This will be written in your journal first and then transferred to the Blog.  Your blog post should include a link to the article.  Your Blog Post header should be as follows:  Country: Title of Article, Date of Article

Illegal Immigration

Pick one of the "Pros & Cons Category" questions on the ProCon.org Illegal Immigration page (http://immigration.procon.org/).  Then pick a side, and in your Journal, write a thesis statement for your position, and write down three arguments from the website that support your side.  When finished - post to this blog.

What Do You Care About?

What do feel very strongly about?  What opinion do you have that others might disagree with?  What really matters to you?  Choose one thing that answers these questions and then explain why you feel that way.  Make sure you list at least three reasons why.  Any attempt to add in some outside facts or information that back up your point will be duly rewarded.  Also, see if you can mention what a person who opposes your view/opinion might say in response to your feelings.
