My Body is My Business

Today we briefly reviewed last day's work.
We discussed the opening photograph on p. 51 for the article My Body is My Business. We discussed Islam as a religion and I gave my "3% Theory" to the class (my own theory that 3% of the people in the world really struggle with their behaviours).
