I bandage my heart with a woman's patience and adversity.
I bandage it with the upright posture of a Syrian woman --

In the first article, it was about advance in technology & how it impacted their land. There was also an impact on other land, such as Europe.
In the second article, it was about how trade routes came to the Middle East from all over the world. There was also a lot of trading from all over the world.
The third article was about animals in the Middle East. It taught me how mothers taught their babies what to eat & where to find the best food. 
The fourth article was about was a newspaper front cover. It taught me that there's girls who are not in school, which is something I did not know.
The sixth article was about a MAC Global Middle Eastern makeup artist. It inspired me because I think it's a good thing that makeup should be evolved no matter the ethnicity, & who we are as a person. 
The seventh article]]> 2018-12-03 16:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/310505202 melodybarojas211 https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/329413300 2019-02-08 21:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/329413300 melodybarojas211 https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/330072412 Based on my World Region, I needed to find a folktale/myth story & make a puppet video on it.

She lived during the Iran war & the whole book started when she was at least ten years old to being an adult. During the war, she's seen a lot such as protests, people being assasinated. She was the only child. When she was fourteen years old, her parents had the idea for her to move to a different country to start a better life & during that time, she had hard times.]]> 2019-02-19 20:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/332933689 melodybarojas211 https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/332934059 For my interview, I interviewed a previous senior from Veritas High School. Her name is Hiba Mousa & she's from Palestine.  She was originally born here in America, moved to Palestine & came back when she was five years old. As she was going into third grade, she moved back to Palestine for only a year but then came back again. Other than that, when she was twelve years old, she went to visit as a vacation. After the interview, I learned that the streets in Palestine are very different. I'm not sure if they have street lights but they drive like whatever over there. Basically like New York, a lot of traffic & people walking around. Another thing I learned is men & women each have traditional clothing. Also, they have a holiday where for thirty days, they don't eat until midnight.]]> 2019-02-19 20:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/332934059 melodybarojas211 https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/340993670 - Prohibited women from going to school, out in public without a man or permission from a man

What surprised me is how calm she was when we were asking questions, especially the serious questions.
(2). One topic I would like to more about is the education system.

I would say it came out successful but I wish I could of put more effort to it to make it look creative. But for analyzing my novel, I think that was a success. With every activity I had to do, it was easy for me because I read the whole book so it was memorable & I had enough knowledge about the book in order to complete the activities with accuracy. ]]> 2019-03-28 18:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/346295017 melodybarojas211 https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/364149427 When I first started this project, I was really excited. I'm really into the culture so it was an opportunity for me to get more information. I was really excited to get food, find a traditional game, & dressing up even thought I couldn't find anything. The last three days before the due date of the project, that's when I started to stress out because I had trouble where to find the food, & I was worrying about my group members' work. I like how I was on top of my work & keeping track on everything. I feel like I did a good job on my part. When it was the day of the project, I was really nervous but then excited to show my audience my knowledge on my country. I felt like I wasn't prepared but during the presentation, I started feeling confident. Overall, I feel like me & my group did a really good job on everything such as the work, food, especially the decorations.]]> 2019-05-28 20:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/364149427 melodybarojas211 https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/366383628 This book is important to show how the Talibans in Kabul were.]]> 2019-06-07 15:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/melodybarojas211/zpyjvsb4ie5y/wish/366383628
