Chapters 7-11 PLEASE READ!

Hello Group!!

I just checked my schedule, and forgot to mention that I will be teaching the Social Studies lesson for both classes. I just wanted to remind you that for chapters 5 and 6, there are questions posted, and for chapters 7-11- here is what you need for tuesday:

1 letter- This letter should be writte about yourself. You are writing to someone you have never met before! This person is your age. Tell them about yourself, your hobbies, about where you live- things like that. They don't know about Alabama! Be descriptive!

Kite- You should decorate your kites, and have them ready for monday. Here are some pictures of kites:

I found out that in Afghanistan, they have kite fighting competitions! The above pictures are example of kites that were used in these kite fighting competitions.
Afghanistan
Kite fighting is a large sport. The kites used range in size from 0.5 meter to 1.5 meters across. The sport is called - Gudiparan Bazi. The line used for cutting is called tar. This was traditionally made with a cotton line and coated with a mixture of crushed glass and rice glue. Currently, nylon string with stronger glue is the preferred line of choice. A new development is using a flexible razor sharp wire. These kites can go up to 3,500 meters in height depending on the size of the kite.^[2]

STAMPS: This assignment will make more sense when you read chapter 11. On one of the letters that Sadeed and Amira receive, Abby has put some really nice stamps on the envelope. She has used pictures that allow Sadeed and his sister to learn about the U.S. I want you to draw a stamp, and include a picture of something that represents Alabama! If someone were to see your stamp on an envelope, they would learn something about where you live. I will provide the paper for this project.

DUE TUESDAY:

1 letter to your "penpal

1 kite

1 stamp

I will not assign any questions.
