Group B discussion

Today I led the discussion on the book Habibi. I was nervous going into this discussion because I felt this paper was difficult to write. My question was: Did Poppy move his family to Palestine to allow them to challenge stereotypes? The members in my group had a lot of good information to add to my topic allowing me to make my discussion easy. I really liked the other question in my group because it discussed why Poppy did not prepare Liyana's Uncle that Omer was Jewish when he came to dinner with the family at the end of the book. Her Uncle was surpirsed that he was allowed in their home. This led our group to discuss the issue of stereotypes and how different generations are more accepting of other cultures. We then related it to our personal lives and talked about how different people in our families accept other cultures. After discussing this book, I realized that there were so many questions that I could have used for my paper. Our discussion also allowed me to look at my furture role as a teacher and see what types of questions are good for group discussion.
