UPLAN+Brainstorm 

back to personal page

I think I want to do The Kite Runner for my UPLAN. In my opinion this is quite simply one of the best books ever written and I think it brings up a lot of issues that are relevant today. It also gives Americans a different view of Afghan culture, one that does a complete 180 from what we see in the media. I want the students to focus on the issues of gender, race, cultural background and friendship - this book makes students think about a lot of that.
