Reading Strategies Projects

Are you looking for an interactive, student-led activity/ assessment for the end of Avi's Crispin? How about 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 circle. Finally, the packet has a page where each student will monitor a partner in the opposite circle. I've also included 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 Crispin. The students need to have completed the whole book to answer the questions included in the packet.

Found poems are one of my favorite activities to do with students because students "create" poems from already well known primary source documents, informational text or literature. Every found poem is different and unique to each student. This activity has students create found poems from the Gettysburg Address. This resource includes the text of the Gettysburg address AND a graphic organizer to help them organize their work. Once they create their poems, I like to have them re-write them on parchment paper or decorate them some other way to hang them around the classroom.

This resource is for personal use in one classroom only. Please do not distribute
