Global Perspectives Assignment – The Kite Runner
We watched a bit of the movie ‘The Kite Runner’ today. The major themes we will consider for our discussion are –  class issues (both cultural and socio-economic); fear serving as a motivator; the role of religion and revenge; alienation and immigration.
Here are some excerpts from the book that might help. Try to associate each of these excerpts with a theme and explain your choice.ÂÂÂ
"Perspective was (is) a luxury when your head was (is) constantly buzzing with a swarm of demons."
"Afghans abhor customs but cherish rules." (p. 52) "But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie." (p. 58)
"In the end, the world always wins. That's just the way of things."
"For me America was a place to bury memories. For Baba, a place to mourn his."ÂÂÂ
"Baba loved the idea of America. It was living in America that gave him an ulcer."
“America was different. America was a river roaring along, unmindful of the past. I could wade into this river, let my sins drown to the bottom, let the waters carry me someplace far.â€ÂÂ
"Afghans like to say: Life goes on, unmindful of beginning, end...crisis or catharsis, moving forward like a slow, dusty caravan of kochis [nomads]."
Do bring your ideas to the next class. A brief update on the history of Afghanistan might help.
Please do not resort to using the internet for the above mentioned assignment, I am interested
in your views only.

Highlights and homework from 3rd Dec-5th Dec
UOI: In light of our new upcoming unit, the students went down to the ground to dig up 3 pits which was to be their excavation site. With continuous digging and shoveling, students were able to retrieve multiple artifacts which led to their inquiry of how these got here and why. This activity continued on for 3 days, and it gave the students a realistic feel of what archeologists go through to explore and unveil the secrets of history.
Students also conducted the NEWS activity catering to the 3rd line of inquiry of the Biomes unit. Through this activity, students realized the harm humans face through their own actions which affect the environment. They realized the major drawbacks a Nation, Society, Well being, Economy face all together when the environment is harmed.
MATH: Students took their summative assessment on fractions.
LANGUAGE: Based on their holiday homework reader ‘Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone’, students watched a movie in the Xbox and were asked to write a descriptive piece on one of their favorite characters from the book.
