So, we’ve reached the end of our journey.  We’ve discovered the insane trail of blood and terror that diamonds follow from the ground to our jewelry.  I found this good slideshow that summarizes some of what we’ve learned and fills in the blanks for some of the questions we still have.  Please look at the slideshow and add  your final facts, thoughts, and questions to your bubbl.us.

Now, time for your final assignment.   Choose one:

1) Using a video camera, create a PSA (public service announcement) warning people about blood diamonds.

2) Make an XtraNormal about where blood diamonds come from and why we pay so much for them.

3.  Using XtraNormal, pretend you are a diamond digger, a soldier, or an amputee.  Tell your story.

4.  Think up your own idea and pitch it to me– if it’s approved by Mr. Lahana, go for it!
