Build a U.S. Strategy for Responding to the Crisis in Sudan
In groups, students discuss and compare the U.S. domestic
relief effort around Hurricane Katrina with the U.S.
response to the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Cross-pollinating
the group findings, students present recommendations
for an appropriate U.S. response to the Sudan situation.
Bride Kidnapping and the Role of Women in Kyrgyzstan
Students discuss the complex cultural practice of bride kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan, then write a pretend letter to a Kyrgyz peer that compares and contrasts U.S. and Kyrgyz courtship and wedding traditions.
Address
Concerns Caused by Conflict in Colombia
In a "town meeting," student teams act as players in
the Colombian pipeline war to discuss how to reduce
pipeline spills and protect civilians.
Documenting a Historic
Climb of Mount Everest
Students work in groups to create the front page of
a newspaper that will document the historic attempt
of Nepalese women to summit Mount Everest.
If you are looking to teach about a particular region, we
encourage you to visit the Stories
by Place page to see what areas FRONTLINE/World has
covered. Each story comes with streaming video and extensive
accompanying Web content.
Maps FRONTLINE/World also offers maps for each story.
Please note that the maps emphasize places covered by the
reporter in a segment, and are therefore more accurate as
an illustration for a lesson using a particular story, rather
than as a resource on their own.
