This week readers we will pay attention to how characters change over time. In real life, the people around us change. This is a part of life experiences. Let's look at how the character Ramon changes in this short story, "ISH."



Did you notice the change in Ramon over time? At first, he enjoyed drawing what he saw around him. Then his brother laughed at his drawings and he began to not believe in his talents anymore. Then in the end, his little sister showed him that drawing is not about being perfect but about doing your best to show what you like about the world around you. In the end, Ramon drew and drew because he loved it and it didn't matter if it wasn't perfect.


Now I'd like you to practice paying attention to how a characters changes when things happen to them in a text. Let's watch, "Mr. Indifferent."

Readers,  everyday we interact with people in our lives. These can be our family members or friends. These days we are interacting with each other and our friends online.

This week we will be looking at how characters interact with each other. We can ask ourselves:

What do the characters say to each other? What do they think about each other? How do we know this?

Please see the American Sign Language Translation of what inertia means:








This week, let's do a practical application of the law of inertia in our homes using simple objects that we can easily find at home. We will do a coin experiment to understand the gravitational pull on an object.

Prayer


2. Prayer (Salah) - Praying five times a day, kneeling towards Mecca. Mecca is the most holy (special city) in Islam.  There are specific ritualistic movements and prayers that are said.


3. Charity or almsgiving (Zakat) - Each year a Muslim should give money to charity (Usually 2.5% of their savings). If a person does not have much money, they can do other things instead.
Ramada


4. Fasting during the month of Ramadan (Sawm). Muslims are expected to fast from all food and drink, including water, from dawn until sunset each day during Ramadan. For example, that means not eating or drinking between the hours of approximately 4 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Mecca

5. A pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) - Muslims should go to Mecca on a pilgrimage. They should do this at least once in their lives. A person does not have to make this pilgrimage if they cannot afford to, or they are physically unable to (Though they can get someone else to go on their behalf). Pilgrimage means a trip.
