The second hour of our final meeting was a more fun activity. Previously, Ahmed had asked me many questions about the forming of the United States and the Revolutionary era. He also asked about movies that told the history, so I found clips on YouTube from the movie "The Patriot" that we could watch during our session. The activity I had Ahmed do is a writing activity, where he watched two scenes from the movie with contrasting tones about the Americans in the war. He wrote chronological notes down during each clip, and then following the watching of the scenes, I asked him to give a short speech about the different portrayals of American troops in each scene. He really enjoyed the complexity of the exercise, and took a lot of interest in the history of America.
