Parent Guide > Eating Together
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Eating Together" by Li-Young Lee.
In Li-Young Lee's poem "Eating Together," a family shares a meal after losing the speaker's father.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death and Friendship & Family as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do people face death?" and "What makes a family?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "Eating Together" about?
- What did you learn about Death?
- What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
- Watch Poetry Breaks: Li-Young Lee Reads “Eating Together” at home with your child.
