Beskrivelse af Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred D. Taylor Lit Link Grades 4-6
The powerful theme of prejudice, hardship, and the strong will to survive by a hard-working African-American family in this novel will leave a powerful impact on its readers. The setting is in Mississippi during the Great Depression. It tells the story of the Logan family, an independent, hard-working African-American family, who are locked in a desperate struggle to survive during hard times and try to keep the 400 acre farm passed down to them by Grandpa Logan. The story is told through the eyes of ten-year old Cassie who witnesses segregation, lynch mobs, and the social and economic hardships endured by the black people of the area. A very compelling novel that deals with racism and its effects on people. Chapter questions strengthen student's reading comprehension and assist in developing critical thinking and emotional development. The vocabulary and word study activities are designed to improve literacy skills in an enjoyable way. 64 pages including an answer key.
