Today we did DOL 3 and we talked about our field trip to the Festival of Colors. Send me your pictures to get credit for the Vista Project. Also, we read an excerpt of a story about an Afghan girl who is living in Kabul when the Taliban takes over called "A Canary in a Cage" and annotated it. Today we did DOL 2 and discussed the White Helmets documentary. We also did a Writer's Notebook on the TED talk by Maz Jobrani. The prompt was "How does Maz portray Iranians and other Middle Easterners in the TED talk? Why? How could hearing about only bad things happen in the Middle East give Westerners a false sense of superiority? Today we discussed reminders about class, including making sure that you check in with a tardy slip, attach late passes to late assignments, sit in your correct seats and when the Term 4 Book Review is due. We did DOL 2 and corrected it. Finally, we discussed stereotypes of Middle Easterners and watched the documentary "The White Helmets" in order to prepare to discuss Middle Eastern Literature. Today we did our first DOL of 4th Term and went to the library to browse books to possibly read for Term 4. You will want to get DOL 1 from me, I've attached the book browse assignment. Next class period, you will propose a book that you'd like to read for this term. Then, start bringing your book to class every day.
