Parent Guide > Different Ways to Pray

This week in class, we’re reading "Different Ways to Pray" by Naomi Shihab Nye.

In "Different Ways to Pray" the speaker reflects on different ways people engage in prayer.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Education & Knowledge as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"How do we understand the world around us?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
  • What was "Different Ways to Pray" about?
  • What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'How People Pray | Cut'
  • 'Mecca | National Geographic'
  • 'Poet Naomi Shihab Nye: ‘Telling a Story Helped Us Figure Out Who We Were’'
