Rwandan Genocide

Today student were introduced to the Rwandan genocide. They read an account of one survivor and watched an interview with the reporter who wrote the story. Students wrote a brief reflection after reading the story, noting what shocked and confused them as well as what they connected the story to and what questions they had. I emphasized that the students think about what lessons such a terrible event has for us today, to take something positive out of something so negative and awful.
