Lesson Plan

http://crucianschoollibraries.wikispaces.com/file/view/Roll+of+Thunder,+Hear+My+Cry.pdf

Common Core:

·         RL.7.1. Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

·         RL.7.2. Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text.

·         RL.7.3. Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot).

·         RL.7.4. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sounds (e.g., alliteration) on a specific verse or stanza of a poem or section of a story or drama.

·         RL.7.6. Analyze how an author develops and contrasts the points of view of different characters or narrators in a text.

·         RL.7.9. Compare and contrast a fictional portrayal of a time, place, or character and a historical account of the same period as a means of understanding how authors of fiction use or alter history.
