Gary PaulsenA 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 this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
“Transall Character Table”
In this activity, students will create a table of the characters Mark encounters during his time on Transall and use the text to explore detailed descriptions and draw comparisons.
o First appearance of the specific character
o Tribe they belong to and role in their society
o Relationship to Mark, and if and how this relationship changes
o Important quotes spoken by or about the specific character
o Extra notes comparing characters (like Mark and the Merkon being foils) and their fates (as implied in the novel)
Compare your results with those of other classmates. How do they compare? What new information surfaced in the creation of the character tables? What conclusions can you draw about Mark’s relationships over the course of his experiences? Address these questions in your notes or reading journal and discuss as a class.
