Breaking News! Recently in Yazman, a young man named Hamir was killed by his landlord, Nazir Mohammad. We have interviewed Hamir’s mother and younger brother and the family that he was betrothed to.

 

The story is that Nazir Mohammad and his men saw Phulan and Shabanu and tried to take them. They were said to throw water pots at them to fend them off. Onlookers reported that this made Nazir Mohammad very angry. Shabanu and Phulan then ran for their lives, and talked to their mother.

 

Quickly, the family left in anxiety. Only Dalil Abassi stayed back. When they told the story to Hamir, he quickly became angry that Nazir Mohammad had dared to insult the girl he was betrothed to. He took to violence. Then Nazir and his men came in a jeep. Nazir was drunk, when he saw Hamir he told his men to shoot him. When Hamir was down a few seconds later, they shot him down once more. Murad and Abassi carried his body back to the hut. There they met Bibi Lal who was crying. She was inside the hut while it happened and she said she heard the gun shots. The men splashed water on Hamir but it would not work. They took off their turbans and wiped the blood of him. Behind them they heard Nazir’s jeep driving away. All of them knew they could not do anything. They knew Hamir was dead.
Dalil Abbasi and Murad carried the body back to Hamir’s hut. His mother, Bibi-Lal was devastated. What a terrible turn of events, here in Yazman. Rangers are keeping an eye out for Nazir Mohammad and his posse.

For this quarter, we have started a new project! The Map Project. To fufill the requirements, we have to use a NYC Subway map in a way that is meaningful to us. For my project, I am making a water color painting of my apartement building and then puting a foamboard person with a part of my map that is near my house. I am also making a frame to surround the painting. On the from frame, I will make the base with foam board and then use the rest of the map in little pieces to cover it.

This is my work-in-progress geo pattern! We have to use a x-acto knife to cut out the shapes. (That is the hardest part…)

This is my fabric collage. Everyone relates their collage to their guild character. Each guild will have a banner and all the fabric collages will be pasted on to it. This is a picture of my bakery I share with my triplet sisters Ivy(Piper) and Eden(Stella).

This is a writing piece that I wrote for the Thanksgiving Assembly (but unfortunately didn’t get to read at the assembly). I am proud of this piece because I feel that when I revised it, I could really picture the setting and my nine year old self being annoyed because the flame didn’t go out. The first large piece of writing is the first draft and the second one is the revised one.

On January 15th, we went to The Cloisters! I liked the unicorn tapestries room and the gardens. The Cloisters Museum relates to social studies because all of the pieces of art are from the middle ages.
