Response #1: Tibetan protests in China

1. Read the following web article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7308890.stm
After you've read it, we will discuss the key concepts as a group and come up with some key search words.

2. Using the key search words, find another article on the same topic. You'll want to find the article on a reputable website, and it will be most helpful if the second article presents some new information and/or another viewpoint.

3. Prepare a response to the articles you have read. Since we're blogging, your opinion is key, but you should also mention at least one thing from each article you have read. After I have reviewed your response, you can post it on your blog, along with links to both of the articles.
