Parent Guide > Marsha
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 "Marsha" by Mikala Rempe.
In Mikala Rempe's poem "Marsha," the speaker describes taking care of someone close to her.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Comedy & Tragedy and Friendship & Family as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What can we learn from tragedy?" and "What is a friend?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "Marsha" about?
- What did you learn about Comedy & Tragedy?
- What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
- Watch Living With A Mental Disorder at home with your child.
