Jacqueline WoodsonA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use these questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.
Short Answer
1. What is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)?
Teaching Suggestion: Have students discuss their best guesses as a class. Facilitate a discussion by focusing on each word individually, then as a group. Introduce the meaning of CTE by sharing a simple definition from the Concussion Legacy Foundation; then ask students to predict how they think someone diagnosed with CTE may exhibit symptoms based on the short definition. After further discussion, view the USA Today CTE video.
Short Activity
Considering what you know about Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), craft a short persuasive essay as to whether you believe the government should play a role in managing youth tackle football.
