Kite Runner Fishbowl #6: Chapter 21

Hello, class! Be sure to take the time to read Rob's responses to 1st hour's questions. You might also take the time to thank him and share with him what you've learned from his detailed posts.

As always, bring at least one quote into your own posts, and get yourself into a hot seat!

Enjoy!

Kite Runner Fishbowl #5: Chapters 19 and 20




Hello, fishbowlers!


If you have questions about Afghanistan you'd like our long-distance friend, Rob, to answer, feel free to post them here, and he will respond to them tonight.


Also, I've posted a picture that Rob sent to us two years ago from Afghanistan.


You have the same two goals today, my friends:
(A) Bring at least one quotation into your responses.
(B) As an outer circle, we need to make sure that at least five different people get into the hotseats today.


Enjoy, and keep up your strong work!
