  1. A Drunken Ride, A Tragic Aftermath A Whole Class Discussion

  2. DAY 1: Reading and Annotating • You will be preparing a Whole-Class Round Discussion, which will take place on Thursday. • Read and ANNOTATE a Drunken Ride, a Tragic Aftermath. • If time remains, question #2 OR #3 under the “First Impressions” (pg. 430) in your notebooks. Remember that these responses MUST be well-developed paragraphs (a minimum of 8 sentences).

  3. DAY 2: Preparing for Discussion • Using the sheet you were provided, prepare a minimum of three open-ended questions that will allow for discussion with your peers. Example: Do you think the parents of the deceased boys were fair in their opinions of Ty? Why or why not? • Complete the sentences on Part II of the form, using the sentence starters you were given. This, too, will prepare you for discussion with your peers. • Turn in the form you completed for discussion so that you can earn formative points. The form will be returned to you, so that you will have it for tomorrow’s discussion.

  4. DAY 3: Whole Class Discussion • You will discuss as a group the important elements of the story and your reactions to them. Use the questions you generated and the sentence starters you completed to help guide you. • IF you get stuck, some topics to consider are: Who was at fault? What other options did the boys have? Is the driver being treated fairly? What is a fair punishment? What is the most powerful aspect of this piece? What did you like least? Do these events remind you of anyone or anything? • Each student must speak for formative credit. The student lead will pull cards for discussion.

  5. DAY 4: Individual Reflection • Write a well developed 1-2 paragraph reflection choosing a “side” – who is responsible for the accident and the outcome? Is it the driver alone, all of the boys, the parents, the store clerk? What is your position on this question? • This is an argument style response – choose a perspective and argue for it, “convincing” me by using strong examples and reasons from the text. Time to A.C.E. it! This is your summative score for this activity.
