Ibi Zoboi, Yusef SalaamA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
The authors intentionally do not provide closure for the reader in terms of Jeramy’s statement. Based on the context provided in the novel, do you believe he confirmed Amal’s innocence? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question.
Teaching Suggestion: Students will likely be upset at the ending of the novel. Consider using this energy to drive class discussions in the form of a debate or fishbowl. You may also need to remind students to stay grounded in the text instead of simply arguing what they hope is the outcome.
Differentiation Suggestion: For students who have trouble making inferences, it may be helpful to provide a pro/con-style T-chart to gather their thoughts. It may also be helpful to break the class into groups and focus on a single part of the novel when looking for context.
Use this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
