1. There are different types of terrorism.  My hope is you will understand the different types.  I am trying to organize a complex topic, but in this lesson I want you to think about terrorism as organized into these types:

• People terrorizing the government
• National Terror Groups
• International Terror Groups
• State Sponsored Terrorism
• Terror By the State Against It's Own People
• Modern Terror 

     2.  After studying the PowerPoint, watching the videos, and researching on the web.  Write a
          paragraph or more answering the essential question of the lesson:  

What are the types and history of terrorism and how has terrorism evolved over time?  

Post your answer by commenting in this blog.  Also, you need to post a useful website (or more) that will help your fellow classmates.  No inappropriate sites (This means no beheading videos, no pro terrorism sites,- you need to find informative educational sites from reliable, reputable sources).

     
      3.  Read other's posts and react to two other posts by your classmates.  I've linked a google doc which will allow you to view expectations for posting your blog responses here:

YGYW FALL 2014 - SEARCHING FOR BEN FRANKLIN AND OUR TRIP TO THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE.

George Washington used this chair for nearly three months of the Federal Convention's continuous sessions. James Madison reported Benjamin Franklin saying, "I have often looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now I... know that it is a rising...sun."
