Teaching Ideas: |
How did Carver's early life affect his later work? Since there is no timeline, readers might like to construct one, perhaps also including a map of the locations. Students might enjoy writing a character sketch of Carver based on inferences of his personality . They could also explore how Carver's ideas on farming/food production have been implemented today. |
