Instructional Ideas

  • After completing this exercise, talk about and rate some of the moral dilemmas present in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Classroom Considerations

  • This is designed to go after reading chapter 10 of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Pros

  • Includes an exit ticket-style assessment that focuses on the discussion aspect of the exercise
  • Comes with a worksheet that lists the scenarios and provides space for ranking the scenarios independently and with a group

Cons

  • There are six scenarios, but students are asked to rate these scenarios on a scale of one to five; you may need to tell learners to only rate five or add one more number onto their rankings lists
