Extra Credit: Africa Unit



In 2007, former child-soldier Ishmael Beah published his memoir of his harrowing experience of being a child soldier in Sierra Leone. This excerpt, "The Making and Unmaking of a Child Soldier", published by the New York Times, is a small piece of the much larger book, "A Long Way Gone".

Need some extra credit? 1.) Read the article, and 2.) Type up a ONE PARAGRAPH summary. 3.) be prepared to share THIS week with the class.
