Mutanatia greeted his students as they entered the room with a handshake again. “Welcome to week #2 of NPR’s World Story of the Day from NPR.” He said. “For your enjoyment, the brainteasers were posted on my facebook page. If you’d like the links, please comment here. This is also our 12th week. This unit, we’ll hear about various stories from across the world. This unit also has a heavy emphasis on the Middle East. September and August were ripe times for international news. Remember, this is a unit on the Libya embassy attacks for the next 2 weeks. At the end of next week, you’ll be asked to decide whose side you agree with more on the initial reading of the situation. Remember that one side (if you look it up, you’ll know) has already changed their position.”
This lesson comes from September 12th, 2012. It features Hillary Clinton discussing the attack on Benghazzi, the city where the embassy was. You will hear her assessment of the situation and remember it as well. Good luck.
Here are the discussion questions:
1) How likely, in your opinion, is the Secretary of State’s scenario?
2) Why did the mob attack the consulate?
He then passed out the homework:
1) Do you think that this attack in particular was really about the film, or was there a larger point to it?
