Excellent work on your Middle East and Islam tests. I'm glad most of you enjoyed the lesson on the Current Events as well. Please keep up on events from all around the world. For the Middle East, your best bet on information is Al-Jazeera. I would suggest getting news from there and if you read the editorials, you can get a more "Arab perspective."
For India, Teacher Rony suggests that you read "The Hindu," and "Indian Express" if you are interested in what's happening in India - a land famous for Hinduism, delicious curries, Mahatma Ganhdi and, most importantly, TEACHER RONY!
