Week 10:
Peers play a very important part in politics. With thousands of followers, millions of rupees and acers upon acers of land at their disposal, these individuals make perfect candidates for broken political system. In my exploration of the topic, I came to know a very interesting fact. PTI, a political party that thrives on middle class vote, which advertises itself as a party of the middle class, for the middle class, also has its fare share of peers. Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs and currently in the top brass of the PTI is a peer as well. The man who often dresses in fashionable and expensive suits can be hardly be expected to pass as a turban wearing Peer with religious inclinations. What is interesting is that even though PTI less corrupt than most other parties that is why one expects it to have less influence from the Peers.
Learning Plan:
Overall, the plan was successful. Teaching my friend the pattern and helping him realize the similarity with English numerals was immensely useful. When I was teaching the numerals, my friend had no trouble understanding. However, once I shifted to the quiz, he did not do too well. A solid C+. Still, I am proud of him!
