Kathy Yoder | ATI Head Librarian's Blog

Here is a short form to fill out once you have read The Glass Castle. This is a brainstorming activity and all answers are anonymous (except for the last one) so don’t be shy.

To see what ideas we generate, I will post them at The Glass Castle: ATI Programming Ideas . I also am collecting ideas from other colleges here.

You’ll notice that I made this on the U.OSU.EDU web platform. This is the new blogging platform for everyone (students & employees) in the OSU system. I suggest you check it out and set up your own blogs. It is easy to use and I even made this form without much trouble.

Thanks for your help with this. It is appreciated. KY

List the themes, large or small, that are represented in this book (e.g. poverty, neglect, self-reliance)

If you were to create a buffet of food to represent the story, what foods would you include?

Does this book evoke any particular music? What might be a genre, song, performer, or style that would be representative?

If our students were to participate in some sort of community outreach work, can you think of any local organizations that would have a tie-in with The Glass Castle?

Can you think of any films that would be good to compare/contrast with The Glass Castle?

What are some curricular tie-ins that would bring this memoir and our courses together?

What personal connections or experiences do you have with this book (theme, setting, etc.) that you would be willing to share with students? Add name to comment, please.
