Weekly World Geography Update

For the week of 3/2-3/8

This week we had our Socratic seminars on both the genocides in Rwanda and in Darfur. In these socratic seminars we sit in two circles the inner circle are the people who talk and discuss with each other the topic, and after each round of discussions the circles switch out and they start off again. The seminar is started off by someone reading the main idea question, for the Rwanda one was; " Who do you think is worse the man who beats his wife, or the neighbor that hears it and says nothing?; and the Darfur one was; "If you made a horrible mistake, would you make it again?". We also learned about our African mask project and about the types of mask the tribes in Africa still wear.
