Tuesday/ Wednesday 27/28 September

Today students received their SSR Tracking Sheet . Students are required to set a goal of 100, 150, or 200 pages a week to read on their own. Students can always change their goal to a higher number, but can not lower their goal. Students receive points each month (two weeks for this first sheet) for reaching their goal, and for meeting the requirement of reading at least five (5) times a week for twenty (20) minutes.

Students also considered and discussed a variety of questions that relate to Persepolis including:
What are some types of education that you have heard about?
How would you define family?
What kinds of social class differences are there?
What does it mean to be religious?
What does your clothing communicate to others?
What society pressures are placed on us because of gender?
Give examples of imperialism - one nation having authority over another - from the last century.

Students wrote on the prompt:
Write about a time that your clothing embarrassed you.

HOMEWORK:
Students are to have read through page 25 of Persepolis.
