Lost Treasures of Ancient Greece

Hello World History Students,

I have found this series of videos from the Discovery Channel on Ancient Greece. It is divided into 5 parts on YouTube, I have posted the link to the first part and there you may find the links to the continuations. Remember to just click on the title of this post and it will automatically redirect you to the proper page. I have found these videos to be very interesting and very well made. They serve as an excellent introduction to the new unit we will be discussing in class. I suggest you take the time to watch them during your break as it is a possibility you will have to answer a few questions on them when we get back. Hope you all have wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! Take care!

Paradise Now on YouTube

World History Students,


Hello girls, as you know, we have been discussing the origins of Judaism as of late but I have also wanted to bring that into perspective with some of the current issues the Jewish nation, Israel, is going through. I have talked about this recent Palestinian film called "Paradie Now" which shows the perspective of two young, Palestinian men on the verge of commiting a suicide attack. I have found the entire movie for you on YouTube. It is divided into 9 parts, so look for the continuations of this first one I am posting on that page. If you click on the title of this post, it will link automatically to the YouTube page. I am also including the address in case that does not work. You may watch the film in its entirety here or use the videos as supplements for what you have not understood or remember from class. Enjoy!

Middle Eastern Recipe Websites

World Cultures,

Salam Alaykum, (Peace be upon you)

Hello girls, as promised, I'm posting up a few websites I found might be useful for your "Food Day" research. I hope you find things that are worthwhile and tasty. Please remember to consult with your parents before incurring in any costs or making any plans. Remember, many ingredients needed to make some of these recipes can already be found in your cupboards at home, so just ask. I wish you luck, see you on Friday!

Remember that these are just a few general sites that I happened to find so that I could give you an idea of what you need to look for. Your recipe does not necessarily have to be from one of these sites and you can find more recipes if you search for them by individual country.

If you have any questions or comments, let me know.

No Reservations: Saudi Arabia

World Cultures,

Hello girls, the title of this post links directly to YouTube's videos of Anthony Bourdain's program "No Reservations: Saudi Arabia". I thought it would be interesting for you to see. Look up the continuations of the first part on that same page. While you watch it, I am sure you will remember many of the things that came up during Mr. Kutbi's interview last week. Hope you enjoy it!

Here is the address, just in case clicking on the title of the post does not work.
