Today we discussed DOL #6 and we discussed particulars for the Festival of Colors. We finished Afghan Star, but didn't turn in the handout because I want to explain the writing assignment to the class.

Today we did DOL #5 and voted for the second round of the March Madness Book Bracket. Then we watched the first half of Afghan Star. If you missed it, you'll need to get the character analysis handout and find the documentary on Youtube. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuZDITToIIo
Today we did DOL #4 and read aloud and annotated "A Canary in a Cage," an excerpt from a book about a girl who is living in Afghanistan when the Taliban take over. Make sure that you get the excerpt from me and annotate it.
Today we DOL #3 and did our voting for our March Madness Book Bracket. Then we discussed the White Helmets documentary in groups. Get the discussion handout when you return to class.
Today we DOL #2 and had a book check for your Term 4 book. To end class, we watched the documentary "The White Helmets." It is on Netflix. Today we did our first DOL of the new term and discussed the new Vista Project for this term. I showed an example slideshow to demonstrate how to create the Vista Project powerpoint properly and then we began filling out our March Madness brackets and presenting our upsets and future matchups.
Today we started class with a discussion of a poem written by Afghani poet Fatima Asghar called "Microaggression Bingo." and then watched a video by Iranian comedian Maz Jobrani about Middle Eastern stereotypes. I passed out hall passes and we continued our work on the March Madness bracket book presentations. We will present during the next class. Today we browsed the books in our March Madness Tournament Bracket and researched 16 of them, writing down their star rating, how many reviews they've received, and what people have said about them in preparation for presenting them in a few days. Book proposals next time.
The term ended this week. We had our final quiz, final discussion, and did our final Vista Project presentations. See you 4th Term!
