International House
Spring Research
Project
Objectives: Develop a critical
understanding of international issues
and conflict resolutions affecting the
global climate.
The Introduction
1. Find an article that covers a
specific riot or protest (i.e., time and
place) in your assigned country. This
is your anchor article.
2. Export the article to Notability, and bookmark the website for easy access
later on.
Facebook in Tahrir
Square, Egypt, in 2011.
What role did social
media play in social
revolution?
3. WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY: Read, annotate, and respond to the
article. Focus your response on how the conflict, and the people involved, are
represented (i.e., author / news agency bias).
Your answers to these questions help your formulate your own larger, essential questions that will
serve as the basis of your research project.
To conclude your typed response to the article, generate three of your own essential questions
regarding the conflict, riots, protests, etc., that will guide your research into the larger implications of
the social conflict.
Turn in the annotated article, with your typed response and three essential questions, to Google
Classroom.
The Proposal:
Using iMovie, create a trailer to visually and verbally (images, text, voice-over, film, etc.,) represent
your Research Action Plan - what you intend to learn through this research project. Your trailer
needs to include the following elements:
1. The name and geographical location of your assigned country.
2. Golden lines (text) from your anchor article with accompanying approved images.
3. Explanation of your three essential questions that you will seek to answer about the larger
implications of your anchor article.
The Short Version: Creative a short film about what your country is, what the conflict is, and what you
plan to learn about it.
