Teaching Suggestion: Chase’s father says fate caused lightning to strike him. He changes his whole life to chase storms. Chase grapples with the idea of fate at different points. Exploring these large topics before reading can help students access these complex ideas as they read. Completing an activity in the first resource offers a chance for more hands-on learning. It can give students concrete experience with abstract concepts. Perhaps journaling before reading and then adding to the journals during reading could allow students to build their understanding and see the value in continuing to explore ideas instead of just looking for one answer and moving on.
