Next week, we will be starting The Thief and the Dogs. To begin switching our minds from Japan to Egypt, I have an interesting Ted Talk about the Arab Spring and Egyptian Revolution that took place a few years ago. Thief deals with the Egyptian Revolution of the 50's, so it will be interesting to see the difference between the two revolutions. As you watch this Ted Talk, take note of the role that social media played.

Okay, this idea is coming organically from 1B. We are going to do a story as a class. Your "blog" this week is to add a sentence to the on-going story. DO NOT REPLY this week--just add a sentence. You can only add one sentence at a time, but you can jump back in later and add an additional sentence. I will give the first sentence, then it is up to you...Have Fun!
First sentence: It started out like any other day in my favorite class, Mr. Stetson's HL English, but things quickly got out of hand. Going back to the roots of the blog with a TED Talk. I found this one interesting--do you? Any personal connections or reactions?
