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.

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.
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?

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