Dice Roll Writing Activities BUNDLE - Author's Purpose, Rhetorical Appeals, etc.
By Ms. J's ELA
This is a bundle of three dice roll writing assignments. This bundle includes assignments about author's purpose, rhetorical appeals, and character reading response which works for any book.
With these assignments, students roll a die to determine the format, topic, and character/rhetorical appeal/purpose they will use for their writing piece. These assignments offer a lot of flexibility and options for students. They are fun and engaging! This resource includes writing rubrics for the character reading response and author's purpose assignments.
Character Reading Response Dice Roll Writing Activity and Rubric *FOR ANY BOOK*
By Ms. J's ELA
Students use a die to decide the character, format, and topic that they will use for this reading response writing assignment. Students will have to assume the perspective of the character they roll first. You can use this resource with any book. Students simply need to write in the names of characters. This is meant to be a fun, amusing activity for students to think more deeply about what they have read. A writing rubric is included. Both the instructions and the rubric come in color and b/w.
Check out my FREE Ethos, Logos, Pathos Dice Roll Writing Activity, and my Author's Purpose Dice Roll Writing Activity.
The Beans and Rice Chronicles of Isaiah Dunn by Kelly J. Baptist LESSON
By Ms. J's ELA
This resource should accompany the short story The Beans and Rice Chronicles of Isaiah Dunn by Kelly J. Baptist. The page numbers listed in this resource align with the book Flying Lessons and Other Stories. This resource includes 4 pages of both color and b/w worksheets which include a pre-reading journal question, tiered reading questions, vocabulary, and a focus on supporting analysis with textual evidence. A 10 page presentation accompanies the worksheets and includes an answer key.
This is a sensitive story. One of the tiered reading questions addresses coping strategies in times of grief. This question needs to be approached in an open, honest, non-judgmental way. If this is not the way you operate, skip this resource.
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!
The Mist by Stephen King: Set of 2 Socratic Seminar Packets + rubric: assessment

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!
