Welcome Back!!

--Today we did a little in-class activity with some Indian and Persian poetry to segue into our study of Indian literature. If you were gone today, you'll need to get a copy of the poetry packet from the crate and read through it. Then, choose one poem and write a 1-paragraph explanation/analysis of what you think the main message/point of the poem is.
--Then, we moved onto discussing our next novel, Nectar in a Sieve. I gave some background info and an ongoing assignment for the book (get the purple handout from the crate if absent and read over it). We got books, too.
--We also went over the Eurasian Conference Clothing assignment briefly. You will be turning in your assignment and bringing a costume to history class on Thursday, 4/9. See EC website for more info.
--HW: Read ch. 1-3, pages 7-28 for Thursday. Also, last day for ANY 3rd quarter work is Wednesday, 4/8 (end of the quarter), so be sure to check if you have any missing assignments and get them in!
