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 "What Happened Here" by Mikala Rempe.

In Mikala Rempe's poem "What Happened Here," a speaker describes going hunting with their father as a child.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fear & Paranoia and Friendship & Family as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How does fear drive action?" and "What makes a family?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this poem at home:
    • What was "What Happened Here" about?
    • What did you learn about Fear & Paranoia?
    • What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
  • Watch Pennsylvania Hunter Education at home with your child.
