The Great Debaters movie analysis: overcoming adversity graphic organizer

By The Red-Haired Reader

This is an assignment that asks students to identify 6 examples of adversity that the Wiley College Debate team had to overcome on the left, and explain how they did so using evidence from the movie on the right. Lastly, they are asked to make 2 connections to works of literature they've recently read.

I show this movie after reading a number of pieces from the 8th grade Pearson text about African Americans facing diversity, studying relevant court cases, and reading the novel "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", but you could really have the students connect the movie back to whatever texts you're reading at the time that are relevant.

If you're looking for a fun, engaging, get-up-and-move activity, I highly recommend trying my speed dating discussion for The Great Debaters!
