Short Answer
1. What do you know about roller derby? Have you ever played it or watched a game? If you do not know much about roller derby yet, can you guess what it might involve?
Teaching Suggestion: This prompt, with discussion and/or brief investigation, will help students gain a baseline understanding of the sport of roller derby, which will be helpful in empathizing with the characters’ enthusiasm for the sport. Roller Girl provides a basic explanation of the game through the main character’s training, so students who are unfamiliar with roller derby will be quite familiar after reading the graphic novel; resources such as the ones suggested below, however, can help to provide students with information and visuals as they begin reading.
