MyBrotherSamisDead "Fishbowl" Discussion Questions/Graphic Organizer (Chs. 1-6)

By Nemos Nook

I love holding Fishbowl type discussions in my classroom because they truly promote student centered learning. This graphic organizer contains discussion questions for Chapters 1-6 in My Brother Sam is Dead in one column and then space for students to use to write down their responses. They must use text evidence from the novel when preparing their responses. I usually have the students use their graphic organizers during the discussions, but have them prepare their responses independently at home or sometimes with a partner in class.
