Weekly Update - November 25

Hi, and welcome back! I hope you all had a good and restful break!

As we left for break, we read I Am Malala up through page 150 and completed the Book Group #3 assignment. We finish I Am Malala this week and complete our final Book Group assignment.
In addition, students were comparing a section of the book Persepolis and the Islamic Revolution in Iran to the Taliban's takeover of the Swat Valley in Pakistan. Students will be writing paragraphs comparing and contrasting these two books. They will then combine this into a compare and contrast essay that they will write in one class period to develop their writing stamina.
