1 Lessons for the week of June 9, 2014

2 Today: Step 1: ALL group members must read the assigned primary document Step 2: Divide up roles. Here are the tasks that must be completed in class today: * Answer the assigned questions in FULL detail. These answers will need to be typed up tonight * Use the laptop to find TWO (minimum) articles from the last ten years that prove your point. Since this is a paper about America’s legacy of discrimination, you must restrict your articles to United States stories. * Send a copy to my address so that I can print two copies for you (one for you to read and the other to post on your poster board): mmach@sewanhaka.k12.ny.us * You may want to send yourself the link for the articles so you can read them later if you don’t finish in class. Step : Divvy up the homework. Here’s what needs to be completed tonight: * Type and print the group’s detailed answers to the assigned questions. * Bring in poster board (If you don’t already have) * Make sure you have read the two articles you found today.

3 Tuesday: Step 1: Neatly write your proposition on top of your poster, label and post the primary document, your typed answers, the two (minimum) recent articles. Use the diagram in your handout to guide your work. Step 2: Divide up roles. Here’s what needs to be completed during class today: *One student will write the group’s article summary (at least eight sentences) for the first article and the source citation. * Once student needs to write the group’s article summary (at least eight sentences) for the second article and the source citation. * Divide up the speech roles: There are FOUR speeches for each group’s presentation. Start writing your speeches during class and practice them in front of a mirror tonight.
