On scene reports from Nigeria

Melody Dickison who teaches at Wayne HS in Ohio found a treasure trove of videos about the Nigerian elections and their aftermath. Thank you.

There are 131 videos (9 hours of video) "posted by Nigerian users and media outlets during the 2011 National Assembly, Governorship and Presidential elections…" The clips range from network news reports to amateur video. If each student looks at one and reports on it to your class, the class can attempt generalizations about the coverage and the events.

Here's a sample:
