Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cr
Chapter 8
For Your Discussion Group
Mr. Granger says the following to Mary
Logan in her classroom:
“I don’t see all them things you’re
teaching in here.”
Reread the conversation Mary Logan had
with Harlan Granger.
Divide your group into two teams and debate the following question: Should Mrs.
Logan be teaching her students a version of history that’s different from what’s in the textbooks? Have one team argue from the school board’s viewpoint. Have the other team argue from Mary Logan’s viewpoint.
After your debate, discuss how the parents of Mary Logan’s students might feel. Why might some parents object to Mrs. Logan not teaching history straight from the approved textbooks?
