Vragen kunnen beantwoorden met bewijs uit de tekst is een vaardigheid die studenten hun hele leven zullen gebruiken. In deze activiteit oefenen leerlingen deze oefening. Ze krijgen een vraag of een prompt en maken een storyboard dat de prompt beantwoordt met behulp van ten minste 3 bewijsstukken uit de tekst om hun antwoord te ondersteunen. De aanleiding voor het voorbeeld is: 'Welk effect heeft religie op Jacqueline's leven?' Leraren kunnen ervoor kiezen om andere vragen te stellen, zoals vragen over Jacqueline's relatie met Noord en Zuid, haar familie, vrienden of meer!

Doel: Maak een storyboard dat de prompt beantwoordt aan de hand van drie voorbeelden.
Instructies voor studenten:
Encourage students to brainstorm open-ended questions about the text. Open-ended questions prompt deeper thinking and discussion. Guide them to focus on topics like character motivations, themes, or the author's choices for richer engagement.
Demonstrate how to select a notable moment from the book and turn it into a question. For example: Pick a scene where Jacqueline faces a challenge, and ask, “How does this moment shape her identity?” This shows students how to connect events with bigger ideas.
Ask students to cite lines or events from the text when crafting their questions. This strengthens their analytical skills and ensures their questions are grounded in actual content, not just opinions.
Organize a quick peer review where students exchange questions and give feedback. Peers can suggest clarifications or point out if a question is too broad or too narrow. This collaborative step helps students improve their questioning skills.
Prompt students to use their developed questions for group discussions or as writing prompts. This provides ownership and motivation while deepening their connection to the text.
To teach students to answer prompts with text evidence using Brown Girl Dreaming, assign them a specific question and have them create a storyboard. They should find at least three examples from the book that support their answer, paraphrase or quote these examples, and illustrate each one. This promotes critical thinking and supports evidence-based responses.
A strong prompt for Brown Girl Dreaming is: "What effect does religion have on Jacqueline’s life?" This encourages students to explore themes, use text evidence, and deepen their understanding of the main character's experiences.
Examples of text evidence might include direct quotes about Jacqueline’s feelings toward religion, her experiences in both the North and South, and descriptions of her family’s influence. Encourage students to paraphrase or use quotations from key scenes to support their responses.
A storyboard activity involves students visually mapping out their answers with images and supporting text. This helps them organize thoughts, connect ideas, and clearly present evidence from the reading, making comprehension and analysis more engaging and accessible.
To use a spider map, place the main question in the center and branch out to at least three supporting examples from the text. Each branch should include a brief description or quote and an illustration, helping students visually connect their evidence to the prompt.
