Middle East




This week in geography we started learning about the middle east. it is a very interesting place because of all the events going on there. Technically we are learning about southwest Asia, but all the students consider it the middle east because the the majority of the countries in this region are also in the middle east. We drew 2 maps of Southwest Asia. One physical map showing rivers and mountains etc. The other map was a political map. It showed the countries and cities in the region. On Thursday we turned in our African Masks. This was a project we were assigned about 3 weeks ago. We had to make a tribe that represents a spirit of Africa. It was really fun. My mask was made of Air dry clay, which i had some difficulty using, but it turned out really nice at the end. We are currently presenting our masks in class.
This week was pretty steady compared to last week. This was pretty much a pretty busy week workwise. I had to do a lab in biology about bacteria plus research a disease, but it was easy. One thing i did that i like was i went to see a movie. I wanted to be nice to my little brother and went to see a movie for him. The movie we saw was Horton sees a who. It is a Dr. Seuss Book. he writes a bunch of books for little kids with deaper meanings for adults such as The cat in the hat. We went to a theater called Regal gateway. It is a huge theater with 15 screens (each showing movie) inside. The good thing i like about this theater is that it has a great refreshment section (plus the movies!). They have so many snacks you can choose from. They have rewards for buying a large size of something. For instance if you get a large dring or Popcorn, you can get free refills!. That's a pretty good deall if you ask me because the prices are not that expensive:) event though this week was busy it was a good week.



This is a video about the imperial history of the middle east.
