magazine project underway!

To wrap up our unit on Migration, we will be publishing an online magazine.  This issue will cover God Grew Tired of Us, plus culture, migration, modern Sudanese history, twentieth century African history, and social activism.  Our magazine will include articles on many of the following:

  • British colonization and African independence
  • Sudanese civil war
  • the incredible journey of the Lost Boys
  • the Dinka tribe
  • cultural identity, cultural differences, culture shock, cultural assimilation
  • working to effect social change
  • current efforts at southern Sudanese independence
  • by the numbers - statistics on world migration

Your article should include good writing, links to informative sites, descriptive images, useful maps, embedded videos, etc.  We will be using Issuu which you can check out tonight if you are interested.  More details will be coming in class.

This assignment will be worth 100 points.

There will also be a quiz on God Grew Tired of Us this Friday, 10/29.
