Short Video- Arab in America

Description

CREATED BY KWAME LAWSON 

UPLOADED BY DC AREA TEACHERS


If you're looking for a short, there's Arab in America, which I've shown to my Arabic II class, a tragi-comic (more comic than tragi) portrayal of life for the Arab American diaspora, post 9/11.  I've made a little sheet with a couple of questions, which you're welcome to use/augment as you wish.  It's funny, the kids laughed, two thumbs up.
