Fri., Nov. 6, 2009

Good Friday, today. We began Said today. First, I pulled up a map of the world on Google maps in order to locate Israel for students--I wanted to put an actual face to the piece. Also, I knew many students would be clueless where Israel was--a few didn't know where Egypt was--many didn't know where Iraq was located. Then, we moved on to Israel and I pulled up a map showing Israel and Palestine in close-up, showing Bethlehem and Jerusalem--so students could see why there's so much contention in this part of the world.

We then hand a base to work from on Said. They could put a "where" to the "what."
