Neal Shusterman, Jarrod ShustermanA 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.
Use these questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.
Short Answer
What might the term “water stress” refer to? Why might this be a problem that people need to pay more attention to?
Teaching Suggestion: Students are likely to focus on locally relevant water scarcity issues in their answers. Encourage them to think about water contamination, water prices, drought, aging infrastructure, overuse, changing climate patterns, and other issues that impact water scarcity as well, even if these issues are not immediately relevant in their own communities.
Short Activity
Create a map of the water resources your community depends on. Then, label each water source with a brief note about the current health of that water resource.
Teaching Suggestion: This activity requires that students have access to information specific to your community.
