2. Also, we will have a "film club" discussion on both short films - If I give you a random card of an outside country or political group, can you explain how they are involved in the Syrian War and why? - If I ask you to map the plot line and development of the boy from the "Boy Who Started the Syrian War," could you do this? || February 2 || Introducing the summative tasks: Global Voices -- Prepping a character to journal

TLH note taking frameworks for the character and event? February 5 || Today, I'd like you to eventually focus in on **one character** from the story of the Arab Spring. Identify that person and dig deeply into their life. Please do not choose a person until you have examined the lives of at least 3 potential people.

 * Cause and effect
 * Perspectives
 * Change and Continuity
 * Using the past (reflection piece at the end) || Amazing work in class on Friday! Very proud of your grasp of the Syrian War and using the TLH framework to think deeply. You have all met that standard. :) ||
 * Monday,

On our webpage, we have numerous resources that will allow us to choose a rich character to know more about and begin to empathize and visualize what it would be like to live in that person's shoes. See my recommended resources in the next column.

During your time today, those of you that have your videos on the TLH presentation, please bring me the files so I can upload them today.
