PERIOD 2 - ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Over the past week you have seen films and read articles about The Armenian Genocide. On Friday, you heard an insightful and informative lecture about this terrible event by Father Boghosian.

PERIOD 2 - THE FREEDOM WRITERS
In the beginning of the film, The Freedom Writers, you saw Ms. Gruwell's department head suggest that she not to wear her pearls to class. We noticed later that she wore them anyway. Why do you think she ignored the advice? Also, you heard the teacher ask her students if they were aware of the Holocaust after she saw an ugly picture being passed around the class. Why do you think she asked her students if they had ever discussed the Holocaust? Did you think it was important for her to have asked her students that question - if so why?You will make a reflective comment to these questions and then make a comment on at least one other student's comment. Remember to use your First Name and your Last Name!
