Steve PembertonA 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 this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
“Book Collection”
In this activity, students create a collection of 5 or more books that have inspired them to achieve a goal.
Steve used books he read to help him overcome his unhappy home life, create a guide for how to behave in difficult situations, and inspire his identity. Create a collection of 5 books you have read that have inspired you to overcome adversity, respond to difficult situations, or alter your identity. Use the bullet points below as a guide.
Prepare some comments to explain your choices when you share with the group.
Teaching Suggestion: Those who print the covers of the books might create a poster with the books they selected for the presentation. For those who have physical copies, it will be helpful to offer the use of a display shelf for students to place their books on while they are talking about them.
