Open Access Graduate Research Paper

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how seventh grade students responded to the oral reading of The Jazz Man (Weik). The researcher attended the four seventh grade language arts' classes in the Marion Independent School District, Marion, Iowa, and the twelve seventh grade language arts' classes in the Linn-Mar Community School District, Marion, Iowa, to read to and question the students. Students identified the adults with whom they live at home (their family structure) and then answered the question, "What do you think happened to Zeke (the main character in the story)?" This study determined what difference, if any, the listeners' family structures had on their responses. Through the results of the questionnaire, it was found that family structure plays no statistically significant role at the .05 level in these seventh graders' responses.
