Jason ReynoldsA 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.
Chapter 10, “The Broom Dog,” begins with the statement, “A school bus is many things.” The next paragraphs list what a school bus can be to different people on different days. How does this three-page introduction to Chapter 10 build connections to other chapters throughout the book? How is this section significant? You might consider these questions as you develop your answer.
Teaching Suggestion: This discussion asks students to analyze an excerpt and make whole-text connections, giving readers the opportunity to apply their observations to larger meanings in the novel. One way to approach this close reading task can be to annotate the three pages individually and then share larger meanings with a partner or small group. After this analysis, students could look for connections and share in the whole-class discussion. Another approach might be to discuss large messages, motifs, and themes in the novel first. Then, students could analyze the ways in which the three pages of Chapter 10 address those key ideas.
