I wish I had a high school geography class right now. If I did, we would have a class blog. And they would need to write on it at least once a week. And this week, they would respond to this:
I hope that you all are sitting inside all warm and cozy, watching the snow fall and reading a good book (or, I suppose, watching a good movie.) I have a question for you on this beautiful night. Climate has a huge effect on culture. Looking at your own life, what kind of impact does climate have on your idiosyncratic, your personal culture? What about the cultures of people who live in extreme climates, super hot, super cold, super rainy...pick one you find interesting and explain an affect of the climate on that culture.
Yes, that is what I would say. And then I would look forward to reading the responses; the great ones, the interesting ones, the silly ones, and the way off base ones.
Ma'a salama
P.S. I think it's interesting that I watch enough movies that I can easily recognize the Muslim call to prayer.
P.P.S. Saiid is in the English Patient.
