The Kite Runner

“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime...” 

 

Before reading The Kite Runner, it will be helpful to research and share with the class some background information about the world of Afghanistan, past and present. Choose a topic from the tabs on the left, research this topic in depth, and create an informative poster that you can also use as a visual aid in a presentation to the class. 

Use the tabs on the left to explore the topic you're researching.
