Why not?
Today in class we took extra time going over the quiz, because other class mates were taking the exam. We watched videos about evolution, and read blog posts. After going over the quiz we grades exam #2 that we took last Wednesday. Remember if you got a 90% or above on both exam #1, and #2, then you are exempt from Exam #3. We broke up into groups and talked about reading an split up reading.

Edward Said Thought
ReplyDeleteHe referred to himself as a "Christian wrapped in a Muslim culture". Said experienced much confusion growing up and was quoted as saying that "with an unexceptionally Arab family name like Said connected to an improbably British first name (my mother much admired the Prince of Wales in 1935, the year of my birth), I was an uncomfortably anomalous student all through my early years: a Palestinian going to school in Egypt, with an English first name, an American passport and no certain identity at all".

Link: I don't know how many of you are familiar with what Yiddish is but its a kind of a language that is partnered with Hebrew and many Yiddish words and phrases have made their way into American English vocabulary. So I am posting a link to a list of Yiddish phrases and words and you might recognize a few like : nosh, shelp, klutz, bagel, glitch, etc.... Sorry its not the most philosophical link but it is neat nonetheless.

Link: This is probably a more relevant and philosophical link. They are links to some philosophical discussions about The Arab-Israeli conflict. I may not agree with all of it but it provides interesting perspectives.
