You are going to look at a completely different way of life this week.
This task will take more time than normal so you will take up to two weeks to accomplish it, but please do it well.
You will first watch a recent BBC news video : Amish held over community attacks.
Pay attention to who is responsible for these attacks. Why have these attacks occurred ?
Now, you will question yourself about this community and do some research online.
The following websites should help you to gather enough information about them :
The Amish and the Plain people
Three pages on the Amish on About.com
The History of the Amish in the US and Canada
When you think you have got enough information on the culture and the way of life of the Amish, you will attempt to write a journalistic article (350-400 words) on the way of life of the Amish people.
You will use the cultural information that you found interesting about them to explain their way of life and then give your opinion on the attacks that took place.
Your article will thus be split up into 3 paragraphs :
Paragraph 1: Who are the Amish and what are their beliefs? You could choose any aspect(s) of their life that you found intriguing. The culture is different, so you will evidently have a few aspects that you will agree or disagree with.
Paragraph 2: Give your opinions on the aspects of their culture that appealed to you or that scared you :-)
Paragraph 3: A brief overview of the attacks and questioning the attacks on a community like this.
You could also read from other sources if you wish to make your article more interesting, but make sure you copy and paste the URL links (liens) at the bottom of your article under the heading "Online references".
Give a suitable title to your article.
