In class today we read an excerpt of a memoir entitled, "Funny in Farsi". We discussed what we learned about Irani culture from the details given in the story. We also talked about how other people outside of our country view America...
the term irony came up because a lot of students didn't think the story was that funny...
When you are selecting your lit. circle books in class tomorrow... I really want you to focus on learning about the cultures you are reading about... what do you learn about their traditions?
This will all help you with your embedded assessment - Which isn't due until Tuesday, 10/20 - Presentations of those projects will begin that day as well.

i read and understand this blog post. and to answer what did i learn about their traditions ... i guess that things are far different from america as far as equal treatments for woman is concerned.

I thought the story was very ibteresting because to students it really didnt come up as funny, but i was really interested to see how the girl and her family were making a different adjustment to living in America. Reading the Story also made me think about how my great grandparents must have felt when they moved to Ameirca, like the people in the story
