Welcome Back! Infidel, Part II

IQ: What do the passages I chose say about Ali's intellectual and spiritual development over the course of the text?

1. Check-in: Welcome Back!

2. Get into small groups (3-4 students) to discuss Infidel. 

• Structure of Infidel: Part I vs. Part II: How does the structure of the novel help shape the book as a whole? Why go into so much detail about childhood/adolescence? Do you think it is relevant? 
• Small Group Discussion: Save the Last Word: Directions: Groups of 4, student A presents significant quote and explains it for 2 mins. Next 3 members add on for 1 min each. Finally, the original speaker responds for 1 minute. Then student B presents his or her quote for 2 minutes, and so on. Choose a timekeeper to keep the group on track. 

Two rounds:

(1) Ayaan’s change in beliefs

(2) Holland’s treatment of refugees.  

Turn in your passages at the end of the period.
