Some Thoughts on Iran

To help us be ready to enter the world of Persepolis, we'll watch this episode of Parts Unknown, a CNN series hosted by Anthony Bourdain. Click here to watch the episode.

While we watched I asked you to keep track of answers to these questions in your notebook:

• What are TWO things you learn about the HISTORY between the United States and Iran?
• What are TWO things you learn about the CULTURE of Iran beyond the food?
• Over the course of the show, what are TWO things that SURPRISED you?
• What are TWO QUESTIONS that you have based on what you saw?

We briefly discussed our responses at the end of class.

Tonight will be your first reading in Persepolis - please read and annotate pages 1-9, including the introduction.

Also, I've posted the new unit calendar - it's up there on the right, and also linked below:

• Persepolis calendar - 1st period
• Persepolis calendar - 3rd period
