New Literature Set: The Rock and the River

Posted on March 1, 2023

Castle Learning has added a new literature set!  Questions for Kekla Magoon’s fictional work, The Rock and the River, are now available. The historical fiction novel is set in 1968 at the height of the civil rights movement in Chicago. The main character struggles with family loyalty and his support for the Black Panther movement.

 

There are 117 questions covering the entire work as well as end of novel questions at the high school level.  These are a mix of multiple-choice, short answer and extended response questions.  Students will be exposed to questions requiring reading skills such as: identifying factual information, making inferences and drawing conclusions, vocabulary in context, literary terms/devices, theme, mood/tone, etc.
