 * Deepening our Read:**
 * //The Kite Runner// by Khaled Hosseini**

In order to better understand the context in which //The Kite Runner// is written, many facets of the text needs to be researched. Each of you will be responsible for researching a particular background piece. Your job will be to create a wikispace on your given topic. Each topic will involve groups researching with the web, with the library website, and with (oh my goodness, no!) actual, paper books. Your job will be to research the topic, make sure to AT LEAST answer the questions posed, and then tie it to the text. You will have to explain how this information is pertinent to the understanding of Hosseini's work. You may arrange the material in any way you wish. You may upload supplemental information (podcasts, video, pictures, music, etc) to bolster your peer's understanding.

Your group will be graded on the following criteria:
