I will use this model in order to create an accessible framework both for prospective participants in the workshop, but also for prospective facilitators. My area of focus is the impact of war and occupation on young people (I hope to narrow my focus to either Iraq, Palestine, or Afghanistan). I would like to use young adult literature or media that is created by, geared towards, or focused on young adults and teens. I would love to source writings “by and for” Middle Eastern youth. This may include using atypical sources like zines, blogs, and websites, and resources or media created by NGOs working in these occupied countries. I plan to focus on the current face of war and occupation in these countries. However I will include historical information to provide context and understanding. This may take the shape of a brief essay, a timeline, or recommended video, documentary. I will also provide maps, and graphs in order to deepen the curriculums ability to inform a young audience. In addition I plan to incorporate visual art and media, and maybe even music. I will use writing, reading, and interactive exercises to provide an engaging curriculum. <br /><br /></p><p><a href="http://www2.evergreen.edu/worldlit/proposal">read more</a></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/worldlit/proposal#comment Group IV/Week I: Cohen/Henningson/Miranda/Moran/ Sat, 29 Sep 2007 12:05:12 -0700 maxcohen 23 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/worldlit
