Students in Mr. Brame's world literature class studied the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam. Khayyam, a Persian poet, wrote this collection in the twelfth century, and utilized the traditional Persian form of the ruba'i. This poetic form consists of a four-line stanza that creates a single complete thought. These poems are written in iambic pentameter and have the rhyme scheme of a, a, b, a.
Also, students listened to a lot of Persian pop music while completing their assignments.
