Thoughts on LRD 12/5/2009

We looked at various articles in this week's LRD and these are our thoughts:





Article # 1: Treasure trove in king tut's tomb!





2 things that we find interesting in the article:


1.In November 11, last year, some archaeologist found a flight of stairs leading to a underground tomb!


2.The other side of the door was the Pharoah's burial chamber which was beautifully decorated with an enormous gold and blue shrine.





Article #2: Stars in the making





3 things that we find interesting in the article:


1.The dance class actually provides scholarships for talented youth aged seven to 16 who have a passion for the arts but lack the funds.


2.It looks like the children who are taking part in the dance classes enjoy themselves very much.


3.They learn new things that are very interesting and challenging.





2 new words from the article:


1.Hone - a whetstone of fine, compact texture for sharpening razors and other cutting tools.


2.Immersed - to involve deeply; absorb: She is totally immersed in her law practice.
