Hey everyone,
This post is meant to be an open forum of comments and replies to help brainstorm as many ideas for the zines we will be making, starting next week. We will be working in groups of about four students to create content and develop a layout for a zine that we will publish, swap and distribute.
Here is what I expect you to do for this week's blog comments.
1. Read any comments that have already been made. If you have something that will add to or enrich the comment, make a reply. Avoid the obvious replies like, "I totally agree, bruh, that would be cool."
2. After you have read any comments, create a comment of your own. This should include at least one idea of something that you think would:
1)help others to understand children's rights issues,
2) identify resources for people to access if they want to help advance the rights of children,
3) make the problems that children face in the world clear to others,
4) highlight a right or set of rights from the UNCRC that you feel need to be addressed worldwide or in the U.S.
5) present some accurate facts or figures about conditions in the world that threaten the rights of children
6) other ideas of things you feel should be communicated so others can understand why children's rights are important.
3. Check back a few times between now and next Wednesday and read comments that followed your own and make replies if you have some ideas.
