Gordon KormanA 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.
Consider the novel’s theme of The Morality of Rights and Ownership. What is the role of morality in the decision-making of the characters in the novel? Use these points as you formulate a response to the question:
Teaching Suggestion: It may be helpful for students to create a T-Chart to compare Griffin’s definition of morality and the right of ownership to the other characters in the novel. Students might find it helpful to assess the motive behind each of the characters’ actions.
Differentiation Suggestion: Students who would benefit from support with abstract thinking might first discuss the theme The Morality of Rights and Ownership in small groups before sharing thoughts on the prompt. Students may benefit from rereading or reviewing selected passages from the novel before drawing conclusions about the questions posed in the prompt.
