Sixth grade English students had a choice to read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The Sea Wolf, Hatchet, or The Cay. They meet in literature groups to analyze the story using Kaplan Icons of Depth and Capacity. At the conclusion of reading the books, students engaged in a Socratic Seminar to talk about common themes. They created their own questions to discuss. Students realized that although stories can take place at different times and places, themes and conflicts can be very similar!
