Angie ThomasA 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.
Use these activities to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
ACTIVITY 1: “The Meaning Behind a Name”
Research the meaning behind your name and reflect on how you think it relates to you as a person. Compare the names found in Concrete Rose and their meanings, and share your opinion as to whether names need a meaning.
Teaching Suggestion: Share the meaning behind your own name, or why there isn’t a central meaning behind your name, to model the beginning of the activity for students.
Paired Text Extension:
“Give Your Daughters Difficult Names” by Assétou Xango — This link features a video of the poet reading her piece on the weight of a name and the Euro-centric perspective on names that sound different from the white norm.
