The book “Funny in Farsi” showed me that I can read whole English book. Before I started to read few English books but after few chapters a threw it away because I wag getting upset that I read so slow. Yesterday I started another English book, another memoir of growing up Iranian in America and American in Iran. “Funny in Farsi” gave me strength that I can do it if I want to.
I was reading this book especially in the train, since I spend there one hour every day. Some chapters I marked and highlighted but not every time. Parts when she talked about stories I just read without marking. I liked to complete the book activities because it gave me another opportunity to study. The first what I had done was vocabulary map, where I placed 10 new vocabulary with definition and picture. Another book activity was chapter poster for chapter about Disneyland. The third activity was a movie poster. I wanted to make movie trailer but since I work a lot and I don’t have too much time I dropped that idea. The last one was review for a newsletter.
I really put attention to the chapter in which I was a student expert. I read it twice and I made notes on the margins. The other chapters I just read for pleasure.
I’m glad that one of our assignments was to read whole book not only one or two parts from it because it showed how to look at one piece together, from the first to the last page. It gives the opportunity to have opinion about a full sized page book not only 10 or 15 pages.
