War in Afghanistan Prezi

So, I've been introduced to the program Prezi! It's a lot of fun. Like Wordle, it's a great program for teachers to use to introduce a new topic, do a middle of a unit review of check point, or a reflection at the end of a unit! My kids have recently been working on learning about the Middle East. We focused a bit on Afghanistan and the war, but not the war the troops are fighting. We looked at the children that are there. The average age of people in Afghanistan is 17 (male and female). It is a country with a very young average population that has little educational resources. We looked at the environments and the resources that are available and how the children of Afghanistan risk many things to gain an education. If you are feeling reflective, check out the presentation and reflect on the questions yourself.
