Mr. Farley's class has begun reading Sounder!
Class 5-313 and Mr. Farley are currently reading Sounder. We have creating 5 Groups using Differential Instruction. The questions range from Character Analysis to Prediction. Each Group collaborates with each other in hopes of creating Strong critical thinking questions. This will help us read beyond the text. What kind of life do the boy and his family have? Do you think it would be easy or difficult for them to change their life? Why?

I think the father doesn't his son to visit him because he doesn't want the son to see him upset. If the son sees the father upset, he will feel bad for his dad.

I think its going to be difficult for them to change their life because all there thinking of is negative thoughts. Also the father is in jail so its going to be tough.

I think the family has a hard life. it would be diffcult to change because they are African Americans, and barely no one respects them. Plus, the white people own them, so if they get more food, clothes, or more furniture, the white people are going to think they stole all of those items.

I think that the family's life would be harder to change because they need to have a new way to survive. The father is in jail so he cannot provide for them. Sounder is hurt so he cannot hunt with the boy.

I think that the boy and his family have a hard time when it comes to living.I think this because they are black and also in this year, the black and the white didnt get good together.

The boy and his family has a negative life. It would be very diffucult for them to change their life. For example, they keep thinking of negative things such as Sounder dead. Also, they always think of their future just to be prepared.

The boy and his family are very poor because they are colored and they are not as wealthy as the white people. They starve, and wear the same clothes everyday.I think it would be very difficult to change they're life because they will need to get more food somehow and get more clothes somehow.They are poor and it is hard to get things that they can hardly afford.

The boy and his family have a terribly hard life. Right now the boy's father is in jail and they don't know if Sounder is still alive. I think it would be so difficult for them to change their life because there are just so much to do to change their threatened life. If the father is in jail then who would be getting the food. They boy will have to take charge of his father's job at home.

The family has a poor family and the family always thinks negatively. I think that it'll be hard to change because there's no reason to become positive.

The boy and his family live a harsh life. They somtimes have to eat corn mush. I think it would be hard because Sounder catches racoons for them and the father takes care of the crops.

The family has a difficult life. This is because they have already lost Sounder and the father.

Sounder is about an African American boy and his family is very poor.They have a dog named Sounder and he is a coon dog, which means he hunts racoons.The family is starving and one day the father steals food from the white men and they catch him.He is put in prison and now the boy is walking to his father in prison with a cake that his mother made.Right now it is Christmas.

The boy and his family have a very hard life because the father is in jail because he stole food from the white men and Sounder got shot and they don`t know if he is still alive. Without Sounder they can`t cach any food andthey have to work 5 times harder. they can`t change their life because they would always have disappiontment in their life and since the father went to jail the boy has to take charge and help as much as he can.

The boy has a very harsh life. His father has been prisoned! Also, their dog Sounder has been missing. I think it would be hard to change their lives because people might continue to make fun of their family because their father was a thief.

The boy and his family have a very difficult life because they are very poor and they have to suffer a lot of hunger. It would be very hard change their lives because right now, the father is in prison and they don't even no where Sounder went. There isn't any hope for them unless the boy gets educated and then get a job.
