Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry chapter 5 and Emmet Till by James Emanuel
By The Red-Haired Reader
The following activity walks students through making text-to-text connections between what Cassie experiences on her trip to Strawberry in chapter 5 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and the real life story of Emmet Till. Students begin by reading an article and viewing a 5-minute video about Emmet Till. Then they answer text-based questions that require them to think about the experiences of both Cassie and Emmet. They will compare the expectations and actual experiences of both individuals, respond to quotes from the movie and text, and explain why the behavior of both children was viewed as "offensive". Finally, they will read and annotate the poem "Emmet Till" by James Emanuel, answering questions about the tone, word choice, and figurative language. Students could work on this independently, with a partner, or in a small group.
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry Socratic Seminar 2 packets and rubric
By The Red-Haired Reader
Are you looking for an interactive, student-led activity/ assessment for the end of Mildred Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry?
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 circle. 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 a meaningful comment their partner made. Lastly, the file contains the socratic circle rubric.
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 Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. The students need to have completed the whole book to answer the questions included in the packet.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry chapter 6 Tabletop Twitter Silent Discussion
By The Red-Haired Reader
Tabletop Twitter/ Silent Discussions require students to rotate around the room and make comments on poster paper about the questions asked. It's an alternate way to do a station rotation!
To set up the activity, you’ll need to copy the 6 large quotes and paste them onto larger poster size paper. Place one at each table or station. You will also need to project the directions onto your Smart Board, or make a copy of them and put them where students can see.
To begin this table top Twitter, students will first read the quote, write an insightful comment about the quote. I suggest that they can remark on the quote’s significance to the plot, theme, conflict, mood, setting, or characterization. I also insist that they cannot summarize the quote; instead, they must DELVE DEEPER and make an insightful comment! They may also put a hashtag comment for fun after their comment. After a set time you deem appropriate for your students has elapsed, direct them to silently move to the next station.
After visiting all 6 stations, students will return to the station where they began. They will read all the comments and come to a consensus about which comment was the most thought-provoking or insightful. They can also decide which hashtag was the cleverest. Afterwards, you can have them report out to the rest of the class, or do a gallery walk to the other tables to see the final products!

I've formatted the quiz so it is on a half sheet of paper, with the first two sections on the front and the third on the back, so you will have to make double- sided copies and then cut them in half.
