Rick Bragg spends the first part of All Over but the Shoutin’ explaining how Poverty affected his upbringing. In what ways did poverty also affect his writing? Consider the following:
Teaching Suggestion: You might first encourage students to think about the topics that Bragg chose to pursue in his writing—victims of crime in Haiti, the poorest people of Mississippi—and ask students whether they think he would have written about these topics if he had been born wealthy. You might also consider his early departure from undergraduate university and his reluctance to apply for—and be accepted to—Harvard University as a Neiman Fellow.
Differentiation Suggestion: You may wish to have a short list of predetermined topics and ideas to offer students who would benefit from assistance in initially identifying a targeted response.
