Description
These Bell Ringers are designed to get students thinking about the issues presented in Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns. There are over 15 questions, to be used on 15 different days to begin conversations with students. Each question has the chapter number included to prevent spoilers!
You may wish to have students respond in a notebook or on a discussion board. Each one is designed to take about ten minutes to respond to. In addition, there are suggestions for notes for each part of the novel, so that students can know which characters to keep track of.
These slides will cover all aspects of the novel, but focus more heavily on parts 1 and 2 for scaffolding purposes. All 30 slides are to be presented to students.
