Ruta SepetysA 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
Utilizing your knowledge of WWII including what you recall from history classes, texts, and film, note a brief response to as many of the following questions as possible.
Teaching Suggestion: Salt to the Sea is set during the evacuation of East Prussia when Soviet forces invaded. If you discover through these questions and accompanying contextual discussion that students are unfamiliar with World War II content, it may be beneficial to view the 11-minute video on World War II or a similar resource emphasizing the role of the USSR. You might instead encourage investigation with these or other resources as students attempt the questions.
