Lyddie by Katherine Paterson, Socratic Seminar Questions
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Creative Writing, Literature, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Novel Studies
Lyddie by Katherine Paterson is a deeply moving novel set in the 1840’s that tells the story of Lyddie Worthen, a young girl who lived in a remote area of Vermont. Because of family difficulties she traveled to Lowell, Massachusetts where she gained employment working in a mill and living in corporate housing. In many instances throughout the book she faced difficulties (including an encounter with a bear inside of her home, as well as an unjust firing from the mill factory), but she stood strong and returned to Vermont and her childhood home with her head held high, as she looked towards the bright future that lies ahead of her. This PDF file of Socratic Seminar Questions contains 45 carefully crafted queries on 13 pages. The first twelve pages contain either three or four questions, while the thirteenth page asks students for one concluding, summative response which requires a more detailed answer. All of the questions can be used to facilitate in-class discussions about the novel. In addition, the Socratic Seminar Questions can also be used for other purposes, such as homework assignments or classroom quizzes , and the pages will help teachers gauge whether or not the students have read and understand the specific sections of the novel. An answer key, including Common Core Standards for Reading and Writing for grades seven and eight, follows the 13-page section of student questions. It is my hope that these Socratic Seminar Questions will be helpful to teachers who present Katherine Paterson’s Lyddie to their students, and I believe that as the students read the novel they will find that the questions help them develop critical thinking skills in English and Language Arts. If you find that these questions are helpful to your students, please contact me with the names of other novels that you use in class and I will see if I could write questions for those books.

HITCH by Jeanette Ingold, Socratic Seminar Questions
Social Studies, ELA, History, History: USA, Reading, Grade 8, Worksheets & Printables, Novel Studies
HITCH by Jeanette Ingold is a story which describes what life was like working in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Set mostly in Montana, the story is told through the eyes of Moss Trawnley, a young man from Texas and Louisiana who goes to Montana in search of his father, a man who had abandoned his family and lost his way in life. Although Moss found his father, he decided not to follow in his dissolute dad’s footsteps. When an opportunity to enroll in the CCC was presented to Moss, he signed up. During his “hitch” (a six-month enrollment in the CCC), Moss learned the value of hard work, and the importance of taking responsibility for his own future. This PDF of Socratic Seminar Questions contains both a student question section as well as a thorough answer key section for HITCH. There are 48 carefully crafted questions which first summarize the key events in a chapter and then challenge students to find details, offer opinions, make predictions, compare or contrast events, draw conclusions, or brainstorm possible answers. The last question, Question 48, requires a more detailed and lengthy response from the students, asking them to include ideas found throughout the entire book. All of the questions can be used to facilitate in-class Socratic Seminar discussions about the novel. They can also be used for other purposes, such as homework assignments or classroom quizzes. The answers the students give will help teachers gauge whether or not students have read and understand the important ideas presented in the novel. It is my hope that these Socratic Seminar Questions will be helpful to teachers who present HITCH to their students. I believe that as the students read the story they will find that the companion questions will help them develop critical thinking skills in English and Language Arts. Common Core Standards for Reading and Writing for grades seven through nine are included at the end of this PDF. If you find that these questions are helpful to your students, please contact me with the names of other novels that you use in class and I will see if I can write questions for those books.
