Blog 21: Making Connections

For the past two days, your class has viewed the I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings film and responded to teacher-constructed questions during your viewing; all participating students received credit for these worksheets.

Now it is your turn to develop questions and make connections between the film and book! With a partner or individually, post five questions you realized you had about Marguerite's story from viewing the film--a question can be formed from something you were wondering about. After you have developed your questions, find the answers in the book! Challenge: Cite quotations to support your answers. Include page number.

Ex. 1. Q: Why does Uncle Willie walk with a limp and what's with his stutter?
A: He was in a childhood accident, which caused both.

2. Q:
Why were Bailey and Maya so sad when they finally met their father?
A: They thought he was dead all those years.

3. Q:Were the boys looking for Uncle Willie in the KKK?
A:Yes Ma'am, even though they weren't dressed in white hoods.

4. Q:Why were the children upset that their parents sent them gifts?
A:The parents abandoned them.

5. Q:When did Maya's parents get divorced?
A:Maya was three years of age.
