Here is the link the standard classes will need to complete the assignment. Remember you need to respond/research/analyze the slides up to slide #8 to be ready for class tomorrow. Take those notes in your writer's notebook and be ready to discuss what you've uncovered so we can understand the Brown court case and why it is so significant. We'll complete the rest of those slides tomorrow in class.
You received your author's craft essays back today and reflected on the writing you completed. Be sure to keep those handy to help you improve on your next assignment.
In the honors classes we saw that what we are doing in class is relevant through a close examination of last night's State of the Union address. Period two identified 14 separate examples of anaphora in the speech before I cut them off! It sure does make for an emotional, persuasive, memorable, melodic, rhythmic, inspirational, motivating and artistic speech. In addition, we all saw how the President utilized cohesive (circular) writing to start off and finish his speech. If the ideas we are talking about in class are being used in the most important speech a president makes, then they must be pretty important.
You received your author's craft essays today. Due to time constraints we didn't reflect today, but we'll be sure to spend a bit of time tomorrow doing so. Keep those papers close.
You discussed the essential question today: Does one person have the power to make a difference in the fight against prejudice? You overwhelmingly said yes (MLK would be proud) but you also noted the importance of the group.
Tonight I'm asking you to do a bit of research in an attempt to understand what is meant by "nonviolent resistance". You are to write a page in your writer's notebook explaining what it is, what it means., offering examples, etc. This is not just you spouting off your ideas on the topic; instead, it is a chance for you to explain what it means after you research it and generate a better understanding. That will be your ticket in to class tomorrow.
See you then.
