Parent Guide > Humpty Dumpty
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 "Humpty Dumpty" by JonArno Lawson.
In JonArno Lawson's poem "Humpty Dumpty," a speaker describes Humpty Dumpty's attempts to avoid getting injured by hiding underneath a chicken.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will and Fear & Paranoia as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does fear drive action?" and "Can we control our fate?"
