Internet reading and viewing on Beah from Mike Lohre

Here are some links to articles and videos about Ismael Beah and A Long Way Gone.

Please read/view them actively over the weekend and take notes on key ideas, statistics, themes, and best uses of language.  Also, make it your goal to record word for word at least three direct quotes from your reading/viewing, and bring your notes to class to share on Monday.
