Laura HillenbrandA 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.
Part of what makes Unbroken so engaging is the core focus on Zamperini’s fierce drive to survive and overcome obstacles, no matter how insurmountable. How did Zamperini overcome obstacles before, during, and after the war and what does his story reveal about survival and the human spirit?
Teaching Suggestion: Students may benefit from written copies of the questions to refer to while discussing. Students may also benefit from previewing questions ahead of time to prepare in-depth answers and refer more directly to the text. Group or personal notetaking may increase information retention.
Differentiation Suggestion: Nonverbal or socially-anxious students may benefit from submitted written responses in place of verbal participation in a class discussion.
