Alan GratzA 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.
These prompts can be used for in-class discussion, exploratory free-writing, or reflection homework before or after reading the novel.
Personal Response Prompt
Imagine that, in the middle of the night, your parents wake you up to tell you that all of you need to leave the country immediately. You have just one minute to pack only your most important belongings that you can wear and carry on your back. What three items would you bring and/or wear? Why? Which would be the most important for your survival?
Teaching Suggestion: Encourage students to consider their most valuable items. While some students might highlight their monetarily valuable items (e.g., money, credit cards, jewelry) or sentimentally valuable items (e.g., photographs), remind students that value is also found in the practicality of the item, especially as it will help them survive on their journey. For example, one of the most important items, but sometimes forgotten, is shoes, as well as identification cards, jackets for cold weather, and sources of food/water.
