One unit ends - the next one begins!


Woohoo!! You finished your first essay for Freshman English!!


Congratulations! I'm excited for you and I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say about American Street!

Today we'll watch this video to help provide us with a sense of life in Iran, the setting for our next book, Persepolis. Here are some questions for you to write about in your journals while we are watching:

  • 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 you have based on what you saw?

We will be sharing our responses as part of our discussion after the show.

Here is a map of Iran:
