Your job is to spend your class research time becoming an expert on the religion of Islam. This is a very important topic, as Islam plays a large role in the story of Persepolis. Links have been provided below, but if you find that you need more information you can access W-L's research databases here.
Links for researching Islam:
BBC: Islam
Introduction to Islam
PBS: Islam Today (see sidebar for other links)
Encyclopedia Brittanica: Islam
Things to consider:
-What are the 5 pillars of Islam?
-What is their religious book?
-What are some basic beliefs of Islam?
-How does Islam relate to the Iranian revolution?
You will create your handout in Microsoft Word - it does not need to be longer than a page. Feel free to refer to some of the sample handouts if you need help! There will be time for you to meet with other students in your expert group and share what you have found.
