Fahrenheit 451: Socratic Seminar packets and rubric
By The Red-Haired Reader
Are you looking for an interactive, student-led activity/ assessment for the end of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury? How about trying a Socratic Seminar!
This file contains 2 different packets of Socratic Circle questions- packet A and packet B. Each packet contains 3 different 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 3 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. Lastly, the file contains a rubric for your use!
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. You'll need to cut each packet page in half after you print them out, as each booklet you give to the students is only half a page. They are labeled A and B. Give half your class A, half B, and allow them to plan! The day of the circle, you'll let A discuss for maybe 20-30 minutes, then flip-flop your circles and have B discuss.
My students really enjoy Socratic Seminars! I have found it works better when you give each group three different questions, so you don't see the same discussion 2 times, which is how this packet is set up.
I used the Socratic Circle as their "final test grade" for Fahrenheit 451. The students need to have completed the whole book to answer the questions included in the packet.

A Raisin In The Sun, Harlem, and Dreams synthesis Final Writing Assessment
By The Red-Haired Reader
This product can be used as a final assessment for A Raisin in the Sun. It requires students to synthesize the play and two Hughes poems by comparing the use of symbolism and the theme of the importance of dreams.
First, students will analyze "Harlem" and "Dreams" using the two foldables. Your students will fold the paper in half the long way, and cut along the black lines into the midline of the paper. They will end up with a long, skinny version of the poem on the front of the flaps, and analysis question inside. As they read the poem, they will peel back the flap to reveal questions that ask them to analyze the poem! I've attached my video that explains how to use foldables.
After the students analyze the poems, they're ready to write! The prompt asks them to synthesize all three texts by comparing e use of symbolism and the theme of the importance of dreams. I've included a comprehensive rubric so students are aware of the criteria, and teachers will be able to quickly and effective grade the final products!

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart Socratic Seminar: 2 packets plus rubric!
By The Red-Haired Reader
Please check out my video preview for my line of Socratic Seminars!
My students LOVED this book, so we recently added it to our literature circle choices! I designed this activity to be a structured student- led discussion after the group finished reading the novel. I typically use it as their final assessment grade.
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!

In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo, Juliet follows the Friar’s plot and fakes her own death.
