"What's Going On?" Assignment

To my World History and World Cultures students,

Here are the instructions and questions for the assignment based on the music video "What's Going On?". The video is posted further down on the blog in the "Welcome Back" message, along with the lyrics, which should help you out even more.

Here are the questions:

1) What do you think the blindfolds symbolize?

2) What do you think the words on the blindfolds mean?

3) Look up one (1) news article from any country in EVERY CONTINENT of the world and bring them to class along with your answers to the questions above. You should have a total of six (6) or seven (7) articles. I recommend you use sites such as

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
and
http://edition.cnn.com/

The article may be in English or Spanish. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at cdimas.asj@gmail.com.

Éxito a todas,
Srta. Dimas
