Learning and fun during the Diwalli Holiday - extra classes for the IOC

During the recent Diwalli holiday, a group of my Grade 12 English Literature HL students volunteered for some extra classes for the IOC oral exams.  

In the morning session we discussed Wilfred Owen's poetry and Martin Luther King's inspiring speeches. We also looked at how TOK could help us understand the closed minds of racists and segregationists during the Civil Rights struggle of Dr King. We noted his reference to India's peaceful resistance movement led by Mahatma Gandhi, one of Dr King's heroes.

In the afternoon session we enjoyed a film version of "Othello". Shakespeare's language and characters are really timeless. We continued the discussion over a lunch of  excellent vegetarian pizzas. A big thank you to these enthusiastic students who gave up one day from their holidays to do some extra work. BD Somani Students, you are amazing.
