Intro to Persepolis

--Today we started our short unit on Persepolis. I gave some background info about the story and the Islamic Revolution in Iran. If you were gone today, it might be good to do some online research about the Islamic Revolution before you start the book so you understand the context of the story.
--I also gave out an overview of the unit and some important definitions/warnings about the book. I've pasted this below so you can look it over, or you can get a copy from the crate in the back of the room. You'll need to get a copy of the book if you were gone today, too.
--HW: For Monday, read pgs. 3-71 (it goes fast, I promise!). Also, think of a childhood memory that you could write a short comic strip about in Satrapi's style.
