For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Discussion/Analysis Prompt
Consider Birdy’s belief in the “enemy.” Is there an “enemy”? Does Birdy believe that there is a good and bad side in the war he is fighting? Why or why not?
Teaching Suggestion: This Discussion/Analysis Prompt connects directly with the Personal Connection Prompt in the Before Reading Section. The prompt also connects with the theme of The Fog of War; it may be helpful to guide students to understand that war is more nuanced than it appears in black-and-white media portrayals. Additionally, this question ties in with the second Scaffolded Essay Question and the second Full Essay Assignment.
