Objective:  I can empathize with the refugee characters and understand the impact of this issue on Afghanistan.  
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Review your exit task from yesterday--how did the speaker's presentation impact your reading of A Thousand Splendid Suns or The Kite Runner.  
• Follow along to the directions in the Cultural Perspective prezi from slide 55-56 (Warning this may cause anxiety or stress.  Please step out in the hall if this is a concern for you.  You can still participate in the class.) 
• 10 min.  with your notes, go around the room and contribute to at least 5 of the Chalk Talk discussion questions
• 10 min.  go around the room again, and read people's answers to the questions you did NOT respond to and respond to at least 2 of those comments or questions.
• 10 min.  go around the room again, and read for responses to your questions or comments, and respond one last time.
• Exit Task:  On your own notes, describe what was most valuable for you in regards to the questions answered.  How has this influenced your thinking about refugees and/or the characters in your book?
