We have decided to choose this book as our school-wide summer reading for the coming year. I just watched the "lecture" by prof yamin and was more convinced than ever that this would be a good choice with the right pre-planning. A few are not sure if this is suitable/appropriate for incoming freshmen. We plan on a history/religion/cultural compenent. The kids wil also produce a short version of a personal graphic novel. Any ideas? we are a private high school of about 800. We have decided to choose this book as our school-wide summer reading for the coming year.

Ms. Yamin, I like the lesson you learned when you were living in Iran and learning the language: "what I say is not what I mean." Did I get that right? Can you post in the blog the three lessons that you included in your presentation? Thank you for discussing the experience of your husband being denied access to services in his own country, and for revisiting these memories. It is especially important since we are at war and understand the culture though war-time media coverage. Sue Yamin’s presention at the convocation was thought-provoking.
