Yesterday our class started presenting our research on the country we chose to study. Each student is expected to present for 10 minutes to their classmates and I. They start by describing their research project and all the information they chose to include. The goal was to describe at least three physical characteristics and three cultural characteristics of the country. Kamil went above and beyond that yesterday when teaching our class about Pakistan. He told us about the largest cities, rivers, mountains, the symbol of colors and shapes in his flag, languages, and many other interesting details. I was even more impressed when he answered a students question about a building in Pakistan. They asked Kamil if the building they saw was in India because it looked familiar to them and he was able to say that the building they were thinking of was actually the Taj Mahal and that the Taj Mahal was built by a husband for his sick wife. AMAZING!!! No one was surprised with Kamil's vast knowledge however because not only is his family from Pakistan, he has also told our class that his favorite thing to do at home is research. What a great hobby!
Other countries we learned about yesterday were Tanzania and China. Did you know that in Tanzania the tallest mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro? Did you know there is a blue bear living in the Himalayas in China that has fur that is black with a tinge of blue??? There is some very impressive research going on in this room, let me tell you!
