Build your knowledge of what it means to be human by answering questions to help you prepare to read "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs."

This PBS People and Discoveries site offers a great introduction to the work of Maslow. Includes a brief bio of Maslow and his ideas.

Gather and organize evidence to prepare for a discussion about the similarities between Grant and Jefferson and their placement on Maslow's hierarchy. This will help us understand how Gaines is using characters to develop a theme.
