In groups, you will research the Shah of Iran (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi)--especially his role in government and reasons for his eventual overthrow and exile.
Introduction
To continue with the ongoing theme of "Struggles and Solutions", we have read Marjane Satrapi's graphic novels, Persepolis I and Persepolis II.
In groups of 4, you will create a graphic journal that will be published as part of a class wiki.
The journal and research necessary to create the journal will provide an opportunity to travel to a time and place you have never been, and to encounter a historically significant person you've never seen--namely, the Shah of Iran.
You will be required to make detailed observations concerning the history or Iran, and, perhaps, even geography, anthropology, literature and the arts.
