Success?

Honors:  Was the Civil Rights Movement a success?  Many people will automatically say, "Yes, look how far we've come." But does coming far equal success?

That leads us to our second essential question: Was the Civil Rights Movement a success?

Before responding to the question, you need to understand what it is asking.  How would you define the Civil Rights movement?  How would you define success?  What does a successful movement look like?

These are some questions you and your group will need to answer in order to fully respond to the essential question.

Realize, however, that while this topic is valid, we are not asking it in isolation.  This kind of question is the type of question you should be asking yourself about a variety of topics and blindly accepted truths.

Over the next few days you will be organizing your information to support your stance.  A successful presentation will be made by those who fully understand the question and the evidence that they share.

Work on this tonight and read Warriors chapters 15 and 16 pages 173-193.

Standard: I returned the poem-book papers today and overall was pleased with the development of the writing you are exhibiting.

After reviewing some successful pieces, I had you rewrite the introductions.  Most of the ones that I read were much more successful than the initial ones.

Now remember to apply what you know about introductions to everything you write no matter if it is in LA class or science class or health class or ISTEP or a letter to Grandma.  It's just good writing practice.

Be sure to read  Warriors chapters 15 and 16 pages 173-193.
