Hey Kiddo by Jarrett J Krosoczka Speed Dating discussion for text analysis!
By The Red-Haired Reader
This set of 12 Speed dating questions are a fun alternative to a traditional class discussion and will help your students analyze Jarett J. Krosoczka's Hey Kiddo!
In order to prepare, you simply have to copy the 12 discussion prompts below and cut them into separate strips. You can laminate them if you’d like! Arrange your classroom so pairs of students will be facing one another. My classes have about 24 students in each, so I set up my desks facing one another down the center of the classroom. Alternatively, you could do two concentric circles depending on the space you have to work with!
When it’s time for the speed dating to begin, each “couple” will flip over their question and discuss it. I usually set a timer for 60 seconds, but you can do longer or shorter depending on the needs of your students. When the timer buzzes, one row (or circle) moves one way, and the other goes in the opposite direction. In this way, each student will have the opportunity to discuss every question.
I've included a reflection/ ticket out the door half sheet question for afterwards if time allows!
Please let me know if you have any questions about this activity! I’d love to hear your feedback after you complete it in your classroom. Thank you so much!
The House in the Cerulean Sea Set of 2 Socratic Seminar Discussion packets Klune
By The Red-Haired Reader
Are you looking for an authentic, student-led final assessment for TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea? This resource contains everything you need to hold a Socratic Seminar Fishbowl Discussion in your classroom for the text!
My students LOVED this book, so we recently added it to our literature circle choices! I designed this activity to be a structured discussion after the group finished reading the novel.
This file contains two different packets of Socratic Seminar packets- packet A and packet B. Each packet contains three different discussion questions that require students to answer and provide two quotes from the text to back up their answers. Students are also required to come up with three additional questions they will ask if there’s time in their seminar. Finally, the packet has a page where each student will monitor a partner in the opposite circle. They will make a check each time their partner speaks, and paraphrase meaningful comments their partner makes. The file also contains a rubric for you to use while your students are discussing!
When you print out the file, you’ll see packet A on the top half of the sheet, packet B on the bottom half, and then the rubric as the last page of the file. Remove the rubric and print one out for each of your students. Copy the rest of the pages, cut them in half, and staple them. Each student will receive one half-sheet booklet; packet A or packet B.
Give your students adequate time to plan for their Seminar! I usually give them a full class period (40 minutes for me), but you could have them do it for homework, or over the course of a few days. The day of the Seminar, you’ll assign partners with opposite packets. Let A discuss for as long as they need (usually 30-ish minutes for me!), then flip-flop your circles and have B discuss afterwards.
My students LOVE Socratic Seminars! I have found the fishbowl discussion format works much better when you give each group three different questions so you don’t hear the same discussion two times, which is how this product is set up. I have used Socratic Seminars in small literature circle groups, as well as with the whole class at once. Please ask if you have questions!

SUGGESTION: In my classroom, I use this story immediately after Lord of the Flies as we explore the darkness in human nature. The texts pair well together because of the powerful, influential settings in each text. This would also pair well with any of Hawthorne's short stories, The Twilight Zone's The Monsters are Due on Maple Street, or any text that is thematically similar!

Lord of the Flies: Analysis of Lois Lowry's afterword
By The Red-Haired Reader
This product requires your students to answer seven questions about the Lois Lowry's Afterword to the 2016 Penguin edition of Lord of the Flies. If you are reading a different edition of the book, you can find the full text of the Afterword here: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/30/books/review/their-inner-beasts-lord-of-the-flies-six-decades-later.html
The 7 short answer questions are rigorous and require students to refer back to both Lowry's Afterword and the text of the novel. This digital resource is great for distance learning because students can read the questions in this PDF, but type their responses in a Google Doc or however you have your students submit their work! It's also a great classwork activity, or work to leave for a substitute. Thank you so much!

A Chaparral Christmas Gift by O. Henry Question Trail for Literary Analysis
By The Red-Haired Reader
This is an interactive partner or small group activity that will have students up and moving throughout the room in order to answer 15 questions related to many different literary devices in O. Henry's "A Chaparral Christmas Gift".
The product contains 15 multiple questions that have at least 4 answer choices. The questions are all ANALYSIS questions, not recall questions. You will hang these signs around your classroom. Based on their answer, the students will be directed to another question. If the students make a mistake, they have to retrace their footsteps and find the question(s) they answered incorrectly. Each group/ pair will start at a different question, and the kids will "follow the trail" of questions throughout your room. The activity is totally self-directed and self-checking!
Also included is an answer sheet for students to record their answers as well as an answer key for the teacher.
