I like the thoroughness, as well as the variety of question types, of this activity. Though many questions were formatted as true/false, they were not simple recall questions. Students really had to think about the questions to make accurate answer choices.

This lesson includes a "Historical Fact Sheet" to help students complete this assignment. Using this "Historical Fact Sheet" and any copy of the speech, students get a better understanding of the speech along with historical facts not commonly found in textbooks.

Glad to find a resource for the book I use. It's not of fine print quality--it was like it was printed and then scanned.

Thanks for the comments. I have tons of worksheets for this book - just search my library. Yes it is a scan from a print. I am offering this as a free resource and a sample of what I have for this book but is still B+ quality, readable and the students really enjoy it. Please follow me for news and new releases.

Good way to ensure kids are comprehending basic information in the text. Questions are more recall-based/superficial, but that works out for my class because I already created assignments that really dig deep into the meaning of the text. Overall pretty useful. Thanks! :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching in a public high school for 8 years in all high school grade levels (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors). My techniques and strategies have shown increases in the state assessment tests.
MY TEACHING STYLE
Take hard to read stories, like The Raven, A Rose for Emily or The Fall of the House of Usher, and break it down into managable chunks by using one of my worksheets. The worksheets that I created work. If you put one of these worksheets in front of the students, several things start to happen: 1) They start reading the story and answering the questions. 2) They now have knowledge of the story 3) They feel accomplished when they are done - and can now have intelligent conversations about the story they just read. The way I created these worksheets are unique. Here's an example... This excerpt is from "A Man to Send Rain Clouds" "The big cottonwood tree stood apart from a small grove of winterbare cottonwoods which grew in the wide, sandy, arroyo. He had been dead for a day or more, and the sheep had wandered and scattered up and down the arroyo." Question #1. ( T or F ) The old man Teofilo had been dead for a day or more, and the sheep he had been tending had wandered and scattered up and down the arroyo (i.e. a dry gully). The answer is TRUE. How many times have you assigned a reading passage for classwork or homework, only to find out the next day that no one read the story? Now what? You have a full lesson planned on discussing the story. Sure we all know that you can give the students an "F" and move on. Ive done it. But I also have seen positive results with these worksheets. As students read the story in class, questions like these pop up, in the order of the story. Students continue reading and boom, another question. Every couple of sentences, there is another question. Before you know it, the student is done, done with the worksheet and done with reading the story. They feel a sense of accomplishment, perhaps earned a grade (depending on your preference), and you are now ready to have a discussion about the story. Question types are T or F, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple choice. If the story says "I ran up the hill as fast as I could to get that bucket of water.", the question would be "I ran up the _______ as fast as I could to get that ________ of __________.". I like to call this "guided chunking". These questions are basically guided reading worksheets in disguise. Ive seen it time and time again. Student sits down to read "A Rose for Emily", 10 minutes later, their head is down, they stopped reading, they're looking around....bottom line - not learning/not reading. Put the worksheet for "A Rose for Emily" in front of them, in about an hour, the worksheet is done and they have read the story. They can now talk about how Emily was, why was she the way she was.. etc etc etc. And that is the goal.
