Uprising in Tahrir Square

An Interactive Toolkit for Advanced Arabic Classrooms

Uprising in Tahrir Square: An Interactive Toolkit for Advanced Arabic Classrooms is a content-based resource for advanced Arabic learners. This book immerses language students in the monumental events that unfolded in Cairo, Egypt during the mass youth uprisings of January 2011. Before toppling President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule in February 2011, the Egyptian youth movement had captivated the world and transmitted its message of anger, hope, and change to a global audience. The world watched as more than a million protestors gathered to press for reform, democracy and regime change. Uprising in Tahrir Square places students of Arabic at the epicenter of these real-life events through a simulated journal project and writing exchange. Students research the cultural and political context of the uprising; then invent personas and speak through the voices of their diverse characters, who collectively experience the events of Cairo's Tahrir Square. Writing in first-person narrative, students' journal entries bear witness to the early days of the nascent uprising, through its surprisingly rapid conclusion with Mubarak's resignation and the uncertainty of what Egypt's future might bring. Not only do the invented characters grapple with the uprising's tragedies and triumphs through their own perspectives, but they also have opportunities to interact with a cast of invented neighbors. Features of Uprising in Tahrir Square: - Content-based approach engages students through contemporary political events and authentic source material (maps, political cartoons, photos, blog posts and more) - Interactive activities support learning on many levels, using modalities like creative writing, dramatic interpretation, technology-based projects and peer collaboration - Unit format includes background info, student writing samples, vocabulary pages, Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and structured exercises - Resources offer expanded learning opportunities: glossary, Web and video links, project rubrics, technology project tutorials and more - Accompanying website (interactivearabiclearning.com) provides unit-based listening clips, YouTube links, vocabulary and other resources

Tahrir Square

The Heart of the Egyptian Revolution

When Egyptians began demonstrating against the regime of President Hosni Mubarak on 25 January 2011, few could anticipate that the demonstrations would grow into a revolution to astonish the world. Millions of Egyptians were soon joining in every day in cities across the country, but Tahrir Square became the beating heart of the revolution, its center, its life force, and its spirit, a spirit that was peaceful, inclusive, creative, and determined. Swedish photographer Mia Gröndahl returned day after day to the square, to record the incredible tent city within a city that would not budge until the president did, and to capture the great humanity of the revolution that impressed Cairo, Egypt, and the world. This book presents a selection of her moving photographs from those historic days, along with the testimony in words of some of the people who were there.

The Florist @ Tahrir Square

Going from Upper Egypt to Cairo to start a new life was not easy, neither on her nor on her childhood sweetheart. When both decided to head North, they had only one thing to count on, hope. They had never expected what was in store.
