Willa CatherA 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.
ACTIVITY 1: “A Portrait of My Nature”
In this activity, students observe or reflect on their natural surroundings (including the way those surroundings impact them) and then synthesize their thoughts in the form of a creative essay.
Willa Cather writes about nature in detail because her own life experiences brought her close to nature. However, whether we live in cities, suburbs, rural communities, or anything in between, we experience environmental factors every day.
What elements of nature do you experience the most vividly? How do these elements affect you or influence your behavior?
Teaching Suggestion: If it is possible to relocate students outside, students can experience nature directly.
