Synopsis
This Common Core aligned teacher’s guide is designed to accompany When Luck Runs Out, (novel not included) by Terri Karsten. The novel and the guide fit into middle school language arts or social studies curriculum. The novel works well in language arts’ studies of genre fiction, lit circles, independent reading, or whole class instruction, with themes of family and loyalty. Students also have multiple opportunities to examine symbolism within the novel. For social studies, the novel ties into the aftermath of the Civil War, and issues of immigration and homelessness.When Luck Runs Out follows Meg Kelly, a twelve-year-old orphan in New York City in 1869, as she faces life on the streets, traveling west on an ‘orphan train’, and the challenges of a new family.This guide includes information about the author, an introduction to the novel, pre-and post-reading activities, and assessments. Two non-fiction articles (on the Civil War Draft Riots of 1863 and the historical orphan trains) tie the novel to real-life struggles in this era. Each article is followed by discussion questions and vocabulary. Exercises in reading primary documents are included in order to broaden students’ reading skills. Discussion questions and vocabulary are provided for each chapter, along with an answer key.
