Friday's Classwork

As students are finishing their projects at different times, we are ready to begin the transition to Civil Rights Literature and Quick Writes in regard to change.  In correlation with Mr. Minisman's History class studies, we will take what we know about "persuasion for change" and talk about "power in numbers."

Our seg-way literature is an exerpt taken from a famous novel "Black Boy" by Richard Wright.  This story has an over-riding theme of "tough love," which will be discussed in class.

Directions for students when you have completed the project:
1.) Read "About the Author"
2.) Read the Story
3.) Answer the "Reading Check" Questions
4.) Answer the "For Study and Discussion" Questions
We will study and discuss these answers in class next week :)


  

 

Reading Check:

 

1.) Why didn't the family have food at the beginning of the story?

2.) What job did the mother find?

3.) What did she send the boy to buy?

4.) Who took the boy's money?

5.) After the boy had been robbed twice, what did his mother do to motivate him to go back out?



 

Read your IDR book when finished :)
