bringing Cairo to our classroom

Tomorrow we will have a special guest in class.  Direct from Egypt - via Skype - our Facebook friend Sarah will be speaking to us about life in Cairo during the recent revolution that unseated Hosni Mubarak.  You are going to have the opportunity to ask Sarah questions about her experiences during the "Days of Rage," the events that led to the revolution, the future of Egypt, and anything else that interests you!

This really is a unique situation, to be able to speak with someone who was on the scene during this historic event.  Your assignment tonight is to post (at least) 10 questions you would like to ask Sarah.  I would even encourage you to tell your parents about this assignment, and see if they have any questions they would like you to ask.

Let's be totally prepared tomorrow, and make the most of this epic opportunity!


Update:  I asked Sarah what sites she uses to get news.  Here is her response:

"Of course: http://english.aljazeera.net/ and on fb, there's: http://www.facebook.com/RNN.World

Mainly, I follow news on FB and Twitter. - A lot of the sites I access are in Arabic. But here are a couple of good ones to follow through Twitter! :)
