Hi Mr. French. I am with my 6th period ss class and we just watched your videos and some students have questions. Eric Leary would like to know what makes it being near the equater so hot? from Erics hair?? Nino- Can you tell us about the culture more specifically what kind of food do you eat there? Travis- What kind of subjects do they teach in school? Ashley says that Mrs. Welch is a good teacher but she misses you very much. Miguel says that he is goofing off in lab and misses you terribly and cant wait to have harder labs when you return.jk Hope that all is going well. :) Bonnie
Hi It is hot here because at the equator the sun's angle is more direct on the earth than ours. See the dinner preparation video, the fish dinner picture and stay tuned for more food pictures. The students take the 4 core subjects we do plus French or a local language, another ss or sc course and one last course for 8 total. All is well here.
HI Mr French this is my soc. st. 7th period class they also have questions for you. Logan would like to know if you are now tan. Shian- have you talked to any kids about their school lives? Rosie and Skye- there is a new video called Kony 1012 circulating on facebook it is about a country in Africa kids were wondering if you heard about this. Zach and Brandon were wondering if anyone there has the errrrrrs Take care!!
I am not sure if I am tan, but I think I burned the top of my head. I have talked to lots of students. They are very friendly and easy to talk to. Much of their life is similar to yours, they generally have less money than we do. I don't know about the video? Is it on you tube? Mr. French
I saw something about Kony 2012 today on the news. It is a situation in Uganda on the other side of the continent. Luckily Ghana is far from there and the country is peaceful and hoping to develop more. The president from here is actually meeting with President O bama today.
Hello again! My students are soon going to be learning about the culture in Africa. We usually talk about six aspects of culture: food, clothing, shelter, recreational activities/sports, holidays/celebrations, and language. If there's anything you'd like to share about those topics we would love to hear about them!
P.S. Bonnie, I love seeing the names of students I had when they were in 3rd grade!
WHy don't you look at the brief videos I posted today and have the students ask me some more specific questions. When I come back, after the 19th be sure to contact me too as I can come to your class. I will start with just language for you. There are over 90 languages in Ghana. English is the official language as this was a British colony until 1957. They are surrounded by French speaking countries. Akwaaba means welcome and is the universal greeting.
