English Language Arts: Joy Luck Club

Amy Tan’s first novel, The Joy Luck Club, was inspired by her mother’s stories and is based on their relationship. A central theme in this book is mother-daughter relationships. In this multimedia presentation, students can walk through a Google Slides deck to engage the four mother-daughter relationships in The Joy Luck Club. Activities and reflection questions are paired with each relationship. Teachers can edit this slide deck to align with their own unit of study around the novel.
