http://www.nytimes.com/info/north-korea/

1. Do you believe that North Korea attacked South Korea's ship The Cheonan? Does South Korea have enough evidence? (You may need to take a look at a few articles to help you answer this)

2. Now that North Koreans are starting to get a slight "taste" of technology, do you think they will hold any type of revolt/rebellion against the Communist regime, especially after understanding that their nation is quite backwards compared to other nations?

Please comment as you usually do- and make sure your SPELLING is correct. No FB or text language on here! :)

Arizona's Immigration Bill....protecting Americans or going too far??

Please read the attached article about a new bill signed by the Governor of Arizona. This bill, which is the first bill by a US State to demand immigrants legalization papers/federal documents of legitimacy, has caused an uproar throughout the country.

Read the article thoroughly, and comment on the following two questions:

1. Where do you stand? Do you support the bill? Against it? Why do you feel the way you do?

2. Do you think this bill, regardless of where you stand, will be effective? Do you think illegal immigration will begin to cease? Why or why not?

World History Peeps! Africa - South Africa and problems facing teens

Hey Ya'll!

Hope you enjoyed our unit on Africa! I know we have read and discussed issues that are very troublesome. As we have learned, South Africa is one of the richest countries in Africa, yet it plagued by so much, including a high population of HIV/AIDS.

Read the article from GLOBAL ISSUES- the link is below. The article is about teens- other kids your age, and the problems they face in South Africa today. To me, it is very disturbing.....

After reading the article, please comment on the following two questions:

1. What do you feel is the BIGGEST problem facing teens in South Africa (choose only one out of the few you read about)? Why do you feel this way?


2. What are some solutions to solve these problems? What do you see happening that may "wake up" these kids, and get them back on the right path in life? Suggest at least TWO solutions.
