Ibi ZoboiA 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.
Zoboi could easily have written a story about gentrification, class, and race without referring to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. What does this story’s relationship to Austen’s novel add to the reader’s experience and understanding? Use these bulleted points to formulate and discuss your response.
Teaching Suggestion: It may be helpful to students to review key elements of Austen’s novel before attempting to answer this prompt. If you suspect that the broader introductory question will be an inaccessible challenge for your students, you might choose one of the bulleted sub-questions on which to focus instead. You might also choose to divide the class into small groups, assign one bullet point to each group, and ask students to reconvene once they have discovered some answers so that they can share their findings and attempt an answer to the larger introductory question.
