Charles Taylor

Dear Roger,
Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with my classmates and I. From blogging with you we are able to learn so much more about the world than we ever could in the classroom. My name is Katie Sherrard and I was amazed to hear that you were the person who arrested Charles Taylor in 2006. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to finally have him in your custody after so many years of him terrorizing innocent civilians. There is a lot I would like to know about the arrest but I will only ask one particular question. My question is when arresting someone like that do you feel as though it is a huge accomplishment or only one small step in achieving human rights and justice for all people?

Peacekeeping and U.N. Forces

Dear Rodger,
My name is Mark Loggie, and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be able to ask you this: What do you believe is more important? For peacekeeping and U.N. forces to be neutral in approaching a situation or to be more aggressive toward whatever side of the conflict they deem the aggressor? Is it more important to quash the instigator, or to maintain the status quo in the intrest of peace?

Diseases Assignment

Remember when doing this assignment that you are not just presenting simple facts about a disease and what it does (though you do need to do so.) Are there any hard hit areas in the world by this illness? Is it preventable? What could be done?

Diseases

In groups of no more than 2 you are to TEACH the class about a disease. We WILL have a test on this unit and you should take notes on each of your classmates presentations for your test.
To go with your presentation you are to also prepare something extra, whether that be a short movie, pamphlet, or poster.

I will leave the length of your presentation up to you as it is YOU teaching it to your classmates.
As a guideline you should answer:
- What is the disease?
- What does it do?
- Causes?
- What type of disease is it?
- Classifications?
- WHO sanctions?
- Treatment?
- Statistics? Where?
- What can we do?


Your “TEACH” is worth 35 marks and your “add-on” to your project is worth 15 for a total of 50 marks. Now make sure that if your “add-on” is worth 15 marks that you make something worth 15 marks, not 5! *** If you were to make a movie I would obviously take that into consideration for the project as a whole… outside of the 15 marks…***


Value: 50 (You will lose 5 marks for not providing a “Works Cited”, and 3 for not sourcing on the page. This rule will applies to all assignments!)
