If you are looking for the book to finish your assignment, here is a link: http://www.shenet.org/high/hsacaddept/English/kmctiernan/kmdocs/Funny%20in%20Farsi/funny-in-farsi-book.pdf Happy Hump Day! Today we are going to finish up a couple memoirs from Funny in Farsi, then move on to look at a vignette from The House on Mango Street. I think you will enjoy the stories today! Hopefully you will be gathering some ideas so you'll be ready to write your own!
Good morning! Today we'll start by reviewing some vocab, specifically related to "memoirs," then we will be looking at a collection of cultural memoirs, Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas. We will read a couple together and a couple in groups, while you examine the characteristics of the text and answer some questions. I cannot upload the slides for today (too large), but the handout is below.
Today we will be finishing up presentations and then learning about narrative writing - specifically, the memoir. You will be writing a Six-Word Memoir, which is more challenging than it sounds!
