Cece BellA 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. What is your familiarity with deafness? How have you seen deafness portrayed in the media, and what do you think people might get wrong about deafness without experiencing it for themselves?
Teaching Suggestion: Understanding student familiarity with deafness and Deaf culture will help tailor the discussion to students’ needs. This prompt can also help you demystify or debunk depictions of deafness that students may have seen before or recalibrate their understanding of deafness as a marker of identity, tying in to the theme of Disability and Alienation.
