A 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. Many people engage in traditions unique to their culture. What is the purpose of tradition? How can traditions help shape identity? Do you think they restrict or promote personal growth?
Teaching Suggestion: It might be helpful to have concrete examples of well-known traditions to serve as a starting point for this discussion, like giving presents at Christmas or passing out candy at Halloween. Consider encouraging students to think about personal family traditions, too. The resources below could be used as pre- or post-discussion material.
2. A “coming-of-age” story focuses on the growth of the main character from childhood to adulthood.
