Today we talked about how in India there are many languages, and that most states are divided by language. Of course, all of these states have to work together, so to communicate India chose two national languages: Hindi and English. Why Hindi and English? Hindi is the single language spoken by the largest number of Indians. English is the language of the country, England (not the U.S.!), that ruled India for many years.
Next we labeled out BIG blank maps that we put together the week before. (I apologize to those who did not receive the map. I had printed out 10 copies and thought that would be enough. I encourage those who did not receive a map to print out the map linked below and label it.)
