Blues Ain't No Mockin Bird and Sensationalism Cross-Genre Questions
Description
This collection includes the short story "Blues Ain't No Mockingbird," the poem "Sensationalism," and two informative articles, which all have to do with sensationalism. Each piece has individual author's craft/purpose questions, the two articles have paired text questions, and the story and poem have cross-genre questions. The questions require students to identify and examine how the author uses strategies to convey his message. They are all higher-level thinking rather than content based questions.
