Blessed Sacrament School - Web Quest Project A

Imagine you're a middle school student born in the U.S., but you now live in the Middle East. How are they the same? How are they different? If you are a girl, your name is Atyia. If you are a boy, your name is Ibraheem.

Your job is to make a journal of your everyday life in the Middle East. You will keep it for one week. Make sure to include entries about food, school, religion, clothing, and recreation.
