In the previous lesson, titled Thinking Together, you spent some time learning about collaborative discussions and how they can help you understand and appreciate great literature. You'll put your new knowledge to work in this discussion as you and your classmates consider what makes Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry a classic young adult novel.

Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster."

In the summer of 1777, British General Sir Henry Clinton, in New York City, had to keep in touch with General John Burgoyne, whose troops were heading down the Hudson Valley, and with General Sir William Howe, who was supposed to link up with Burgoyne but instead had chosen to take Philadelphia.

Howe believed that "friends of [the British] Government" along the Hudson would make Burgoyne's task easy. But along the Hudson there were also many enemies of the British. A Peekskill man, for example, although paid to be a courier for Burgoyne, handed the general's message to the Americans. Other British couriers who rode south were never heard from again.

Which statement includes explicit information from the text?

General Burgoyne’s misjudgments led to failures in communication between British troops.
Several people pretended to be friends of General Howe but were actually spies for the Americans.
General Clinton needed to communicate with other British leaders in order to coordinate attacks.
General Burgoyne gave a message to a courier who ended up giving it to the Americans.
