Students went to the teacher's lounge to eat Koshari (a street food considered a national dish of Egypt) while Mr. Stone read aloud to them Naguib Mahfouz's short story "Half a Day." Mr. Stone made Koshari to model for the class how a food project could be made to accompany a selection of world literature. Stone cited as inspiration for his food choice a line from Denys Johnson-Davies translation of Naguib's story which says, "We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship, and love, play and learning."
Students took a quiz over the story.
Homework: Study for the summer reading test over Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockinbird.
