Protests

Students learn about the youth-led movement and consider what it takes to act assertively to organize for change. They view and discuss a video relating Martin Luther King Jr.'s statements to events in Egypt.

High school students read and discuss an article describing the role of the youth movement and consider quotes from Gandhi on the power of nonviolence.

"Students consider four different views of what should motivate US policy toward Egypt, then have a dialogue about it. (For more on Egypt, see War, Peace, Terrorism & Other Global Issues below.)"

Students read two news stories about the protests in Egypt and consider the players and their roles.
