Description
Look no further for resources to teach the play "Sorry, Wrong Number" by Lucille Fletcher. Whether you're an experienced educator or new to the classroom, this resource has everything you need to engage and inspire your middle school students while reading this thrilling radio play.
Key Features:
1. Dive into History: Prior to reading "Sorry, Wrong Number," use the included 36-slide PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation to provide the necessary background information on the evolution of the telephone. The presentation will help students step into the world of operators, switchboards, and the challenges of crossed lines, providing the necessary background information for the play's context.
2. Vocabulary Mastery: Enhance students' vocabulary skills with a list of key words from the text, along with a quiz for quick assessment.
3. Interactive Pre-Reading Activity: Get your students excited about the play with the "Mystery in a Bag" radio skit. In this group activity, students collaborate to craft the first scene of a mysterious radio play, setting the tone for what's to come. While this is designed to be a quick prereading activity, it would also work well as a group activity after reading the play. Either way, everything you need is included, and your students will LOVE it!
4. Drama Essentials: Equip your students with essential drama knowledge, including terms, structure, and techniques that bring drama to life. Guided notes and interactive notebook options streamline the learning process.
5. In-Depth Post-Reading Activities: After reading the play, delve deeper with activities that explore characterization, setting, plot, and theme. Students can choose from options like character analysis charts or a hands-on plot sorting activity. Guided notes are included in case you need to teach or review these basic literary devices.
6. Thought-Provoking Discussions: Engage your students in critical thinking with activities like the "Main Suspect" analysis, where they determine the most likely culprit for Mrs. Stevenson's murder. They must provide motives, alibis, and textual evidence to support their claims. This activity is perfect for students to work with a partner. It will also provide the basis for a great class discussion.
7. Reading Comprehension: Foster strong reading comprehension skills with text-dependent questions. Teach the RACE strategy with included notes and examples, empowering students to craft well-structured responses.
8. Writing Enrichment: Encourage creative expression with writing activities, including poetry and the opportunity to craft a modern-day version of the play.
9. Informational Texts: Two thought-provoking nonfiction articles that tie seamlessly into 'Sorry, Wrong Number' are included. These articles come complete with carefully crafted questions to stimulate critical thinking and spark insightful discussions, making your lessons even more engaging and informative.
10. Reading Signposts: As a bonus, explore the six reading signposts within the story and gain insight into how they can be applied to other texts, enriching students' reading comprehension skills beyond this play.
11. Movie Watching Guide and Test: We purchased the movie version from Amazon, and found it to be an amazing addition to our Sorry, Wrong Number unit. The movie goes much more in depth into the murder mystery, and it will provide an amazing opportunity for your students to analyze. We are including a movie watching guide as well as a quiz that compares the movie to the play.
Incorporate this resource into your classroom for an engaging and enriching exploration of "Sorry, Wrong Number." With a wealth of activities, assessments, and teaching tools at your fingertips, your middle school students will develop a deeper understanding of the play's themes, characters, and historical context, all while developing their critical thinking and language arts skills.
With so much included, there is not doubt that this resource will be your go-to companion for teaching this classic radio drama for years to come!
