25 November (updated)

We covered the BBC article from the homework (last post) in class.

Homework, look at:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/arabic/news/newsid_7746000/7746130.stm

(I think this is the article David meant)

and read what we have on Nizar Qabbani - if you don't have the handouts, this is where they were taken from (go to the print version - we have the first three pages so far):

18 November class

Written homework (discuss topic based on this and at least one other article):

أصوات من غزة: كيف يعيش الفلسطينيون في ظل الحصار؟

We also looked at this in class. We'll be doing more Nizar Qabbani next week, but if you can't wait:
