Guadalupe Garcia McCallA 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. Reflect on stories you have read—stories that mirror your own experiences and stories about identities different from your own. How did it feel to see yourself mirrored in a story? What did you gain/learn by reading books about people of other identities?
Teaching Suggestion: This discussion may be continued by asking students to reflect on the value of reading stories about characters with cultures that are different from their own. After sharing the author’s personal experiences on which she bases her characters, you might ask if they have read or watched stories from similar perspectives.
