  1. Week 27-Persepolis Pt. 2 Periods 1, 4, 6

  2. Do Now: Monday, April 7th • What does it mean to you to be patriotic? • How would you define this word? • Think of a time when you felt particularly patriotic, or a time when you were supposed to feel patriotic but did not.

  3. Agenda:

  4. Understanding the Iraq-Iran War • The Middle East is a complicated part of the world that has been through many wars and conflicts. • To help us better understand the history of the war, we’re going to watch a short documentary discussing some major issues between the two countries. • As we watch, use the back of your worksheet to jot down a few notes. After the video is over, we’ll come back together as a class and discuss.

  5. Reading • The F-14s: • Pages 80-86 • The Jewels: • Pages 87-93

  6. Vocabulary • Coup D'état • Sometimes simply called a coup • A swift, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government • Pronounced: coo-de-ta

  7. Exit Ticket • Record a brief (2 sentences) summary of both chapters we read today. • We’ll use these summaries when we return to our arguments later in the week and later in the unit.

  8. Do Now: Tuesday, April 8th • How does war, or the threat of war, change the mentality of people within a given country? How does it change society in general? • You can think about how America has dealt with current wars, or wars in history (WW1 and WW2). • You can also think about the shifts that are starting to take place in Persepolis. • Draw your own conclusions and write them down on your paper.

  9. Agenda:

  10. Reading Task: • As you read today, your job will be to create one open-ended question for use in tomorrow’s class discussion. Let’s review what makes a good open ended question… • Open or Closed? Open ended questions allow for debate or discussion between two people. They are questions that must be argued or explained. • Why is Ms. Jaclyn always smiling? • Who is the best teacher at Metro?

  11. Reading • The Jewels: • Pages-87-93 • The Key • Pages-94-102

  12. Exit Ticket: • Take the last 5 minutes of class to share the questions you came up with. • Your group should decide on one open ended question they like the best. • We will use these questions tomorrow in a class discussion, so pick a good one!

  13. Do Now: Wednesday, April 9th • Select one of the student-generated questions below to answer as your do now: • How do you think America would be different if our women were forced to wear the veil like in Iran? • How do different characters react to young children being sent to war with stories of glory, women, and honor? • What would it take for you to fight for your country at such a young age? What would have to happen for your to send yourself off to war? • Should parents have a say about their sons fighting in the war between Iraq/Iran? • Can Marjane be viewed as a patriot?

  14. Agenda:

  15. Reading! • Continue using sticky notes to form questions or highlight important parts of the story. • “The Wine” • P. 103 • “The Cigarette” • P. 111

  16. What’s Your Story?? • Today, we will start our last major comics project. This activity will help improve our paraphrasing and listening skills. • Day 1: Today: On the back of your Do Now worksheet, you have space to write. Your Task: Think of an important moment or memory from your childhood. This should be a time in your life that changed the way you felt/thought about people or the world around you. Write as much as you can in the last 10 minutes of class about this experience.

  17. What’s Your Story: Day 2 • Day 2: Find a partner you’d like to work with. Your task will be to paraphrase your story to your partner. In other words, you will read what you wrote today from memory. • Your partner will listen and take notes about your story, but you can only tell them once! • After both sides have traded stories, you will attempt to put that person’s story into comic form, using text and image to re-tell their story.

  18. Do Now: Thursday, April 10th • Continue working on your “What’s Your Story” activity from yesterday: • Your Task: Think of an important moment or memory from your childhood. This should be a time in your life that changed the way you felt/thought about people or the world around you. Write as much as you can in the first 10 minutes of class about this experience.

  19. Agenda:

  20. “What’s Your Story” Swap • For this activity, we’re focusing on paraphrasing your own story and listening to your partner’s story. • Take 3 minutes to paraphrase the story you wrote yesterday. Do not read directly off your paper. The goal is to summarize/paraphrase what you wrote earlier. • As your partner listens, they should be taking notes on what you are saying. Use the organizer to write down important points of the story you are listening to. • After 3 minutes, it will be your turn to read, and your partner will take notes!

  21. Reading! • We’ll try and get through one more chapter today. • “The Passport” • Page 118
