Target Task


Question 1

Identity: In what ways are human beings similar across culture? In what ways does culture impact identity?

The Individual and Community: What is community? What holds it together? What tears it apart? What is the relationship between the individual and community? Why is maintaining balance in this relationship so important?

Culture and Colonialism: What is the impact of European colonialism on the characters in the novel? On the people and cultures of Africa?

Notes


  • Today should be largely a discussion day. Students should come ready to share their own answers to these thematic questions based on what they have read. Most importantly, they should spend time considering how Achebe has answered/addressed these questions in his novel.
  • The teacher might also wish to give students the opportunity to pose their own discussion questions about the novel.
