This week, I have a very busy schedule. I am doing some observations
in some classes and some cultural presentations in others. So far, the
best presentation was with the 8th Graders of the whole school. About
ten teachers attended the presentation. It was an interactive one in
the sense that students were required to ask questions, make comments,
make comparisons or just give their impressions or opinions about such
or such cultural aspect. The slide show lasted 45 minutes and it was
really good. Students asked questions about Moroccan kids' musical
interests, about moroccan houses, Moroccan celebrations. I meant the
presentation to be an open window on the country and at the same time
I tried to highlight the similarities between all members of the human
race. I was applauded as I have never been applauded before. The only
thing now, is that all the teachers want me to do presentations in
their classes. I am trying very hard to fit them all in my schedule.
And this leaves me very little time to go to other schools. In any
case, I am very glad: kids love me very much and I received a lot of
invitations from their parents.
