Our teacher discussion guide for Thunderhead, the second installment of the Arc of a Scythe series, contains questions and activities to help guide your lesson. The discussion questions urge students to think critically and be reflective while reading. The extension activities provide writing prompts and philosophical thoughts to help students relate the novel to the real-world.

Excerpted from

Thunderhead: Book #2 of Arc of a Scythe
Thunderhead: Book #2 of Arc of a Scythe
By Author: Neal Shusterman

A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. His story is told in whispers across the continent.As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the “new order.” But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.
