For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Throughout the novel, characters help others in various ways. Sometimes, harm happens under the guise of helping. What does Dear Evan Hansen say about helping others? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question:
Teaching Suggestion: It might be useful as a class to develop working criteria for helping others and causing harm, which can be applied to specific scenes in the novel. Reviewing discussion ideas from before reading questions and activities can also add depth to the discussion. Tying ideas back into the unit’s themes, especially No One Is Alone, can build additional analysis.
Differentiation Suggestion: For classes that need additional guidance and focus during the discussion, including some groups of diverse learners, re-reading one specific scene that applies to these questions can aid the depth of the discussion. This way, instead of jumping from different parts of the novel, students can take more time re-reading and including specific details from select pages in their answers.
