Parent Guide > The Taming of the Shrew-Induction 1.12
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 "The Taming of the Shrew-Induction 1.12" by Gary Soto.
In Gary Soto's poem "The Taming of the Shrew Induction 1.12," the speaker discusses what he would do for his love.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Gender Roles and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How are we changed by love?" and "How do we define the roles of men and women?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "The Taming of the Shrew-Induction 1.12" about?
- What did you learn about Gender Roles?
- What did you learn about Love?
- Watch Berkley poet Gary Soto reads from new book “You Kiss by th’ Book” at his home in Berkley, Calif. at home with your child.
