  Lesson 2

  • Content/Process
    • Silent Reading:“You will be reading silently to complete the task that will be assigned to you. Group 1 will look for passages that illustrate when the author uses imagery; they will read from Speech 1. Group 2 will look for examples that demonstrate the author’s attempt to use persuasive language and they will read from Speech 2 of the speech. Group 3 will read Speech 3, in its entirety and they will look for evidence that the author uses that supports the conflict of the speech. After they have located their passage, they will record it on the back of an index card. On the opposite side of the card, students will write why they chose that particular passage. I will circulate to assist students who might be having difficulty with finding a section that identifies their assigned task. The students will have 15-20 minutes for this assignment.
    • V. Follow-Up: Depending on which group each student was in, each student will write a one page essay on their group topic. Group one will be in charge of looking at who or what Malcolm X identified as the problem in the struggle for civil rights? Group two will look at what he saw as a feasible solution. Both groups will look at his ideology. Students must support their assertions with evidence from the reading.
