Parent Guide > Soular
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 "Soular" by Peter Payack.
In "Soular," a new invention is scrutinized by government organizations for its unintended capabilities.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Power & Greed, Social Change & Revolution, and Technology, Progress & Industry as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does power corrupt?", "Why do people resist change?", and "What are the costs and benefits of technology?"
