Louise ErdrichA 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. Brainstorm historical fiction titles that students are familiar with. What did they learn about the time period in the novel or story?
Teaching Suggestion: As students think of titles, point out to them the historical events that they learned about and prompt them to think of at least one fact they learned through this piece. Students can also bring up movies, songs, or TV shows that narrate stories about the past.
2. What do students know about Indigenous American cultures? Ask students to name tribes that they are familiar with. Why is it important to differentiate between tribes?
Teaching Suggestion: Use this as a moment to introduce students to terms like “Indigenous” and “Native American” and to help them think about how they can speak respectfully and avoid stereotypes about Indigenous peoples.
