What can you learn about an ancient culture through literature?
Explanation:
You can learn about how the colony lived, how they provided for themselves, the struggles and things they endured, and how they overcame the struggles. You can also learn what they used/did to survive, how they got anywhere, how they associated with other people. Also, any major days in that part of history will definitely be mentioned. You can learn all kinds of things!
Periodically, we sort those questions into lists to make finding what you need easier, like these previous lists of prompts for personal or narrative writing and for argumentative writing, or like this monster list of more than 1,000 prompts, all categorized by subject.
This time, however, we’re making a list to help your students more easily connect the literature they’re reading to the world around them — and to help teachers find great works of nonfiction that can echo common literary themes.
