Week 2

In the second week of my 20 percent project, I didn't start teaching Arabic to Naima yet! Honestly I think that is really wasting for time and I am not okay with that at all! Because Naima doesn't have a lot of time for that, we decided to work on it once a week- that's what Naima wants.
I can't believe that this is the second week and I didn't do anything yet, except for the proposal!! I really want my project to be great and I am willing to work hard on it so that it will be completely done in an organized way since the begin, because everything start organized will stay like that till the end. I will meet Naima in the end of this week and hopefully she will come.
We planed to meet on Friday, but unfortunately Naima didn't come and she didn't answer on her phone when I called her or even respond to my texts. Now I start to think about some solutions for this, and will see what will happen next week.




Week 1

Welcome to my new 20 Percent Project Blog spot.  My name is Lana and I am doing a project for my English class called 20 Percent Project.  I have to do something that helps others or/and teach them something new and useful, it also might change their lives and make it easier.  So I thought about so many things and in the end I decided to teach mt language, Arabic, especially that no one else will do it.  I am going to work on this project with one of my friends, she will be my student, her name is Gardenia.
This is the first week and I have to do a proposal to tell what is my project.  I have to talk about what is it, who is involved, who is the audience, what do I expect to learn, expenses, what are the equipment, and my timeline.
A new girl came to our English class and she will join me in my project beside Gardenia, her name is Naima.  Bur after a few days Gardenia changed her schedule and she doesn't have the same class with me, so she doesn't want to work on this project any more.  Therefore, having Naima is my group was a good thing.
This week I didn't start teaching Arabic to Naima yet, because our plan is to work after school but she didn't have time after school to work on that while she has practice for soccer - which is going to be over by 4:00 PM if not after!! However, I won't be able to go back to school after she done with her practice, so I thought about if we meet in my house and she said yes, but then I start to feel that she doesn't want to come, because she kept giving me excuses.  And honestly I have a feeling that she is not willing to work on the project that much!  But even though I will keep trying with her because I am sure it's worth working for, also it will start getting fun when we start working. We shouldn't waste our time this much, but I could not do anything but wait to the next week to see what we will do.
