Hello,

Great job with Scantron today!

This month we will be studying the novel Persepolis, a novel about a young Iranian girl, Marjane, during the Islamic revolution.  This is a graphic novel and the illustrations are in black and white. To better understand the novel we will learn little about Iranian culture, history, geography and religion.  We will be connecting Persepolis to other novels we have read.


Option 1:
 Persepolis tells a story of what it was like to be raised in Iran.
1.    What story does Persepolis tell?

 Unfortunately (sadly), people consider (think of) Iranians to be "the bad guys."
2.    What do people consider Iranians?

People from Iran aren’t evil—Iran's citizens are people of the world just like us and they want to listen to music, hang out with friends, and party.
3.    What are people from Iran like?

4.    What do they like to do?

Marjane grew up in Iran as things started getting bad. It was a rough time to grow up there but Marjane survives.
5.    Where did Marjane grow up?



Option 2:
Persepolis tells a story of what it was like to be raised in Iran. Unfortunately, people consider Iranians to be "the bad guys." Reading what it's like to grow up in Iran is like reading what it's like to grow up as a young stormtrooper on the Death Star.
         Unlike the Death Star, Iran isn't actually evil—Iran's citizens are people of the world just like us and, just like us, they want to listen to music, hang out with friends, and party.
         Marjane grew up in Iran just as things started getting bad. It was a rough time to grow up there but Marjane survives.

5.         When did Marjane grow up?
