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!

BUNDLE! Great Debaters movie Graphic Organizer, Speed Dating Discussion, poetry
By The Red-Haired Reader
This bundle includes three resources that go along with the movie The Great Debaters. You will receive a graphic organizer that requires students to track the adversities faced by the debate team during and/or after viewing, a poetry analysis tool for "I, Too", which Denzel Washington as Professor Tolson recites during the movie (one of my favorite parts!), as well as a fun, interactive speed dating discussion activity for after viewing. Please check out each product individually using the links below. I show this movie before reading Mildred Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry since the settings are so similar, but you could use it in your own classroom in a variety of different ways! Let me know if you have any questions!
