We have finished our first book of 7th grade! The Breadwinner is one of my all-time favorites and definitely a great way to start the school year. The Breadwinner gives us a real jump start into our unit on Southwest Asia: Afghanistan, the Taliban, women's rights, conflict, poverty, etc... I hope that you were able to make some connection between Parvana and yourself - would you have been able to do what she did to save her family? Share your thoughts about the Breadwinner. What did you learn, what was your favorite part of the book, what character is most like you? Do plan on reading part 2? |
