Parent Guide > Momentum
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 "Momentum" by Catherine Doty.
In "Momentum," a young person decides to take a risk in order to impress their friends.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is a friend?" and "What makes you who you are?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "Momentum" about?
- What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
- What did you learn about Identity?
