Today, we introduced the first two homework assignments above. Then we did a self reflection for the last few weeks.
In period 3, we watched a bit of the movie "God Grew Tired of Us." (SHS students - click here to watch the movie via mediacast).
God Grew Tired of Us is a documentary about the "Lost Boys of the Sudan." These boys were survivors of a civil war in Sudan. They fled their homes at a young age and left with only what they were wearing. They fled to Kenya where they were able to live in a refugee camp. They were stuck there for 10 years before they began being placed in the United States. This documentary details their flight from Sudan to the Kokuma refugee camp in Kenya to the USA where they experience the difficulties of a new country.
