A.P. Language had a very nice visit with Marjan Khalili of the Iranian Society of NY.
This is the third time our AP Literature teacher, Ms. Matthusen, has worked with her. Ms. Khalili brought several Persian items for the students to look at: children's books, money, candy, a map, among others. Ms. Matthusen says, "It's helpful to have an insider's perspective to supplement our reading of Persepolis." In the past Ms. Khalili has visited Ms. Matthusen's AP Language Class and provided helpful background and context to aid in the students' reading of Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran as well as provided a very nice DVD set about the history of Iran.
