Short Answer
Harris and Me takes place on a farm in the early 1950s. What do you know about farm life either during this time period or in the present? How do you think farm and family life might have been different during the 1950s compared to modern times? Consider the fact that this decade followed World War II, and think of how values and technology have changed since the 1950s.
Teaching Suggestion: Some students may have little or no familiarity with life during this time period. Still, they can be encouraged to imagine what life might have been like after a war, how people might have lived, how families might have spent their time before the introduction of things like the internet and cell phones, and whether their knowledge of farming today might apply to farming of the past.
