Nuclear Non-Proliferation

Today, we will continue to look at the building up of nuclear arms, as well as the concept of nuclear non-proliferation. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to answer the following questions:


• Who has Nuclear Weapons?

• What are the effects of Nuclear War?

Here are some websites to help you with your assignment.

Left To Tell

Left to Tell




As we discussed in class, there are many stories that survivors of the Rwandan genocide were “left to tell.” This assignment is your opportunity to tell one of their stories. Here is what you need to do:

1. Begin by researching a survivor of the genocide (this can be a moderate Hutu that was threatened or a Tutsi). Find out where they were when the genocide began, how they survived and any other information that might be important to telling their story.

2. Next, you are going to use video-making software to tell a “digital” story. Click here to read more about what a digital story is and how to put one together on a PC (If you have a Mac, let Miss Berliner know and she will help ).

3. You must include the following in your video:

a. Music- Choose a song/s that you feel represents and adds meaning to your story (this must be ICSB appropriate). Use the song creatively in your final video.

b. A Narrative- Your role is to tell this person’s story. Use narrative writing to do this. The story should flow and make sense. You will need to turn in a rough draft of your story (a final edited draft is not necessary, as you will be making it digital.

c. Pictures and/or video that help tell the story. You should have a minimum of ten pictures, but feel free to use more.

d. Minimum length: 4:00

e. Once your video is complete, you will show it to the class, so be prepared with a short introduction to your video.
