For Struggling Readers: Help students identify and keep track of key details using two-column notes. In a narrower left column, have students write down key people, terms, and dates. In the wider right column, have students take notes about the details for each item.
For Advanced Readers: Have students read “He Fought for Native Rights,” also by Joseph Bruchac. (At junior.scholastic.com, search for it by title.) Ask: How does the article help you understand the boarding schools mentioned in the Sarah Winnemucca article? What do she and Luther Standing Bear have in common?
For Writers: Guide students to respond to the “Write About It!” prompt at the end of the article. After students collect evidence and write their essays, have them share their work with a friend or family member and ask what information the reader found most interesting or surprising.
For Distance Learning: Have students choose another article to read from our Honor Women’s History text set. (At junior.scholastic.com, click “text sets” in the top menu and select that one.) Ask students to complete one of the organizers under “Learning Resources” after reading.
