TOP STORY - KURDISH ATTACKS
1. Who are the Kurds? Why have they launched a campaign of
violence? Where did these attacks take place? Why were these
specific targets chosen?
2. Have groups of students research the history of the Kurdish
rebellion in Turkey. Groups should focus on the cultural and
political factors that underlie the tension between the Kurds
and Turks, as well as Kurdish attempts to establish an inde-
pendent state in Turkey. Challenge students to cite similari-
ties between this situation and other separatist movements
worldwide. Why do cultural groups who seek independent states
often resort to violence? Discuss.
3. If you were Prime Minister-designate Tansu Ciller, what actions
could you take to stem Kurdish violence? In groups brainstorm
a list of options available to the new P.M. Students may want
to consider increased military force, asking the U.N. to get
involved, "peace talks" with the Kurds or other actions they
think might be appropriate. Have groups share their lists of
options. Have any such actions worked in similar situations?
Would giving in to the demand for a Kurd homeland translate to
a victory for advocates of terrorism? Discuss.
OUR WORLD - ANNENBERG GIFT
4. Who is Walter Annenberg? Why did he donate $100 million to The
Peddie School? How will most of the money be used?
5. Walter Annenberg's motto is "Conduct thyself as if it were
necessary to be re-elected every day." What does this quote
mean? Do you think it is good advice? Why or why not? Have
each student create a motto to be passed on to others and have
them explain it to the class. Post these words of wisdom in
the classroom. Each Monday, profile a "Student of the Week" in
class by displaying a picture of that student, biographical
information and his/her "motto" for all to read.
6. What is a philanthropist? In what way does a philanthropist
contribute more than money to society? Have each group of
students research a philanthropist, highlighting his/her career
accomplishments/contributions. What institutions, foundations
and/or buildings were the direct results of this person's
generosity? Have each group present a mini-documentary on a
philanthropist's life. Students may use any creative form:
video, slides, one act plays, etc. to present their documen-
taries. Discuss: motives behind philanthropic actions and
characteristics that make a person a philanthropist.
NEWSQUIZ (pg 4)
7. ANSWERS: 1-Singapore, L.A.; 2-Haiti; 3-Vienna; 4-Turkey; 5-
California; 6-Nepal, Tibet; 7-South Africa. Have students
extend the Newsquiz and use their newspapers as resources to
create additional questions to stump their classmates.

1. PREVIEWING: What was the national mood of the United States in
the 1960s? What were the primary social concerns?
2. AFTER VIEWING: How did the civil rights movement in the '60s
spawn other, similar movements? Brainstorm a list of those
movements. How many still exist today?
3. What organization did Julian Bond help found? What was the
Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)? Have
students use any available resources to find out the origins of
SNCC and the names of some of its prime movers. What are some
concerns that galvanize students' interests currently? Compare
these concerns with those of the 1960s. What student concerns
would Julian Bond support today? Why is he uniquely qualified
to teach the history of the civil rights movement in the U.S.?
4. Have students read oral histories from the civil rights
movement of the 60s. Working in small groups, have students
present choral readings to the class based on those histories.
5. Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are often portrayed
as philosophical polar opposites. Ask students to tell what
they know of either man's philosophy. Categorize these ideas
and list them on the board. Then challenge students to read
writings by both leaders and determine their positions on
several key issues of that time period. Research the positions
of other civil rights leaders for the same time period. Place
each leader on a spectrum, including Malcolm X and Dr. King.
Where on the spectrum would students place Julian Bond?
6. What concerns are high on the social agenda of the U.S. for the
'90s? Brainstorm a list in class and discuss their importance.
What impact do any of these concerns have for your community?
Ask a volunteer to bring in a copy of Dr. King's I HAVE A DREAM
speech. Read it aloud. Then have students choose a concern
listed on the board. Divide the class into groups according to
the issue they selected. Using several newspapers/news maga-
zines, have students cut out photos, drawings and/or cartoons
and create a montage from the images and headlines depicting
their concerns AND their dreams.
CHALLENGE: Have students write a speech on the issue they selected
in the vein of Dr. King's I HAVE A DREAM speech.
