Block days this week were spent going over more poetry stuff in our power point (see below) and getting a jump on our reading selections from the Middle East. The three readings we read and went over today all touch on a common theme - the treatment of women in Middle Eastern society. How do each of these stories approach this subject? We also viewed a brief power point regarding the use of veils in this region. For homework, complete the reading questions for "From Behind the Veil" and make sure you've read all three of these stories - we will discuss them in class and watch a short video next time I see ya. Reading questions are due Friday at the beginning of class. "Another Evening at the Club" by Alifa Rifaat (link available by scrolling down to Tuesday's post)
