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.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

What does the book suggest about the power of humility in our interactions with others? How does humility relate to conflict, and can people be humble even when in conflict? What are some scenarios from the book or from your own lives that support these ideas?

Teaching Suggestion: Because the discussion recounts a large portion of the book, students may benefit from discussing in small groups before discussing as a whole group. Students may wish to look back at the book to reference important points.

Differentiation Suggestion: Students who might benefit from additional strategies in focusing their ideas could use a graphic organizer to analyze details. Students may wish to divide their paper into three parts labeled “interacting effectively,” “qualities that isolate peers,” and “resolving conflicts.” Students can use each of these columns to list details they remember from the book.
