World Cultures, New Region


Hello all,

As you know, the next region to be studied in class will be the Middle East. I would love to be able to invite Mr. Kutbi to our class so as to enjoy from the experience of learning from a Middle Eastern Native. Normally, we don't necessarily have access to someone that can teach and enlighten us through his or her experiences which may be so drastically different from our own. On the other hand, we may also be surprised to find out that these experiences, although geographically distant to our own cultural realities and contexts may also be more similar to our own ways life than we realize; the Philippines, anyone? Remember, as a part of this experience, you are ALL REQUIRED to prepare at least two (2) interview questions for Mr. Kutbi and you must hand them in by POSTING THEM ON THE BLOG! I will be keeping track of the posts. Thank you, and good luck.
