Black Children Tears in Sudan

I found it quite interesting they way in which this video was filmed and edited. They first started out with a close-up shot of the DRP President sharing his viewpoints on the genocide happening in Sudan and then pans out to the title being Darfur genocide. Throughout this clip they have a song playing that speaks about how will there ever be peace which is the reoccurring theme throughout the film. It is emphasized greater with the sound of gunshots as well as close-up shots of the young children of Darfur and then concluding with close-up views the way in which they see the world through their drawings. There pictures show a world of war, killing, military, etc. This video clip addresses the universal question: How long are the nations of the world going to allow innocent people like those in Sudan to be tortured, beaten, and killed. Black Children tears in Sudan looks at what life is like for the typical Sudanese child in society today.

Hey, I just saw this link in our Richardson textbook while I was waiting for your page to load.

It is a wiki on the holocaust for high school students, created by a teacher, Dan McDowell in California.

Crystal--
It's really cool how you are addressing each of our teaching media assignments within the theme of your blog. You have truly found a worthy cause on which to educate your students. I hope you use it with your students, and that some of them are getting involved. My hat is off to you. Considering it's always off to someone, you will rarely see me wear a hat, unless it is very, very cold outside.
