Parent Guide > Maps
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 "Maps" by Yesenia Montilla.
In Yesenia Montilla's poem "Maps," a speaker describes maps and how borders divide the world.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Comedy & Tragedy, Identity, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does a person overcome adversity?", "What can we learn from tragedy?", and "What makes you who you are?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "Maps" about?
- What did you learn about Comedy & Tragedy?
- What did you learn about Identity?
- What did you learn about Resilience & Success?
- Watch Why all world maps are wrong at home with your child.
