This 20-slide lesson provides a comprehensive introduction to the context of Khaled Hosseini’s ‘The Kite Runner’.
It features an overview of 20th century Afghan history and the rise of the Taliban, plus a brief synopsis of the novel and Hosseini’s intentions/message in writing it.
Also included is a list of key words for students to research, some topical questions for classroom debate, and some key vocabulary.
This is a useful first lesson for those reading the novel for their A level studies (particularly for AQA’s Political and Social Protest paper).
Also included is a brief geo-political summary sheet of Afghanistan to help pupils to understand the nation’s context.

Some good contextual info however there are not many tasks - and the tasks are more opinion ones than comprehension. The resource is a PDF and it does state this in the description but it would be convenient if it was a PPT so edits could be made
