Task 4: Week March 22-28: Connecting to the World Today

Dear All,

How're you? Hope you are doing fine, though maybe you want your daily routines to get back to normal. Do you?

I thought it'd be interesting for us to share our ideas about creative ways to link the classroom to the world. 

First think about between an image and an event in history. 

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/18/learning/freedom.html

Share your suggestions in the thread first and then read the opinions of your peers and comment briefly on their opinions.

Next read from a selection of opinions about the connection between the images other teenagers have expressed: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/18/learning/freedom.html#commentsContainer. Choose 1 or 2 that you either (strongly) agree or disagree and explain why. 

After that, you should read the article in the NYT (https://nyti.ms/2UADdNp), in which 50 teenagers shared their ideas about the connection well-known classical texts have with today's world. Choose one that you have read or are familiar with and write a post in which you will express your opinion about the chosen book.

Alternatively, you can choose some other classical book and share your opinion about its connection with today's world. Publish your explanation in the thread of the blog or if you prefer in your own blog (in this case publish the link to your post in the thread below).

Altogether then you first explain the connection b/w the images above; then write the 2nd part of your post in which you discuss the connection between the book from those mentioned in the article or one of your choice and explain its connection to today's world. The genre of your piece is Opinion. The word limit for this task is 300 words.
