Newbery medal winner
Students read the Newbery medal winner, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, about a family and their struggles with racism during the pre-Civil Rights time period of the 1930’s. The realistic characters and their Southern dialogue captured the students’ attention and kept them turning pages. Eighth graders participated in great discussions about prejudice and stereotypes. In addition, students read Eric Liddell: Something Greater Than Gold, about the inspiring story of the Scottish Olympic Gold Medalist, who gave up his career to answer God’s call to minister in China.
