Roland SmithA 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.
Explain the role Burmese Independence and Colonization plays in Elephant Run. Consider these questions in addition to your own ideas:
Teaching Suggestion: Consider allowing students to access the novel for reference as they answer the questions. Students may require time to brainstorm a list of characters to draw conclusions about the impact of colonization on each character. It may be helpful to permit students to create a written response to the questions prior to joining a class or small-group discussion.
Differentiation Suggestion: For students who might benefit from additional assistance, consider asking them to draw a three-circle Venn diagram to compare the attitudes of the various people about Burmese Independence and Colonization. The students should have one circle that represents the British, one that represents the Burmese, and one that represents the Japanese.
