Teaching Ideas: |
Students may want to do some research on the historical events in this book - Islamic Revolution, Iran/Iraq war. Compare and contrast life in Iran with life in the U.S. Add to a text set about growing up in oppressive circumstances - Anne Frank, Japanese Interment camps. This book would work well in a study of political changes that affect a country and the people within it. |
