| This week you will be viewing a documentary film created by Benjamin Jordan, a Canadian paraglider and film maker. He travels to the African country of Malawi to teach children the joys of kite flying. He meets Godfrey Masauli, who has a dream of flying, but never had the means ($) to do so. The two friends travel across the country and finally paraglide from the top of Malawi's highest peak where they realize their personal dreams and inspire a nation. View the trailer to the left. In class we will watch the full documentary, and Godfrey's lecture on Ted Talk. After watching the complete documentary, follow the three paragraph writing format we have been practicing. Paragraph 1. Summarize the story.
