Hi Amanda, I am also a YNI fellow and I am looking forward to teaching Persepolis during this 4th nine weeks. I have now read through your unit and am using it as a guide for my first time teaching this graphic novel. If possible, I am wondering if you could share any of your files from the unit with me. I recently started a second job and anything to help save some time is appreciated. My e-mail is jcallaha@richmond.k12.va.us. I can't wait to start teaching Persepolis and appreciate your thoughtful approach to the story. Thank you any input and assistance. Best, Jeanne
