Thought & Response Prompts
These prompts can be used for in-class discussion, exploratory free-writing, or reflection homework before or after reading the novel.
Pre-Reading “Icebreaker”
Consider a sport, physical activity, or other interest that you love. What is this interest, and how did your participation in it begin? How does this interest support you through difficult times? What about the interest instills within you a sense of Pride?
Teaching Suggestion: This prompt can be connected to the Post-Reading Analysis.
Post-Reading Analysis
After finishing the novel, reflect on Saul’s love for hockey throughout his narrative. How does his passion for this activity support him through difficult times? Consider an activity you pursue with enthusiasm, perhaps the activity you discussed in your Pre-reading “Icebreaker.” What similarities can you find between your interest and Saul’s with regard to its impact?
Teaching Suggestion: Welcome students to incorporate their Icebreaker response into their Post-Reading Analysis and invite them to share their opinions.
