Good Morning,

We will be watching the Netflix movie “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” in my classes for the next two days.  It is a true story about a fourteen year old boy from Malawi that is very interested in physics and sciences.  When his country and surrounding areas in Africa are suffering from an extreme drought, he finds a way to “save the day.’

The movie is rated TV-PG.  If you have an issue with your son/daughter watching this, an alternative assignment will be given to them with NO penalty.  I think this movie tells an amazing story about a young boy who uses his abilities to help his country through a VERY serious time.

We will be working on a project next week after we watch this in class.

Below is a link to the trailer for the movie if you want to check it out.
