David Barclay MooreA 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 questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.
Short Answer
What might be the impact of art and creativity on emotions? How might creativity be considered an important aspect of society? Where can creativity and art be found in everyday life?
Teaching Suggestion: Lolly, the novel’s protagonist, struggles to understand and cope with his violent surroundings. He uses Lego and the design and construction process as a coping mechanism to make sense of his world and escape his emotions. Students might use the prompt as a springboard for discussing the impact of art on society, the importance of creativity to the individual and to groups, and the overall purpose of art and creativity.
Short Activity
Research some of the world’s most interesting Lego builds and share your favorites with peers. Describe important details and timelines for the build. Then describe your experience designing, constructing, drawing, and composing some original creation.
