Of course, this week we had some articles that were about ISIS. Did we really expect anything different? However, this weeks ISIS topics were a bit different, they were not about the group, rather the people who are going to meet up and join ISIS. This is a little change of pace because all we really hear about is how they are killing people, or advancing their territory a bit further in the middle east. This focus allows us to take the people who are being affects by ISIS in a different way into account.
One of the big things that we heard about during this week's gallery walk was about how teenage girls have been fleeing their respective countries to join ISIS militants. These girls go to join, or get married. It is not only girls running away to ISIS, it is also boys. I couldn't imagine that these boys are going to get married into ISIS, so they could only be going there to join up. All in all, a very disturbing topic indeed.
Good blog. I liked how you introduced the topic of ISIS before actually talking about it. You should've talked about other things besides ISIS, there were other articles too.
