Instructional Ideas

• Preview the Hate that Hate Produced documentary, available on the Internet, to determine if it is appropriate for your learning situation

Classroom Considerations

• The 17th in a series of a 28-lesson unit on narrative writing that uses The Autobiography of Malcolm X as an anchor text and as a model for the personal narrative required on the college Common Application
• A protocol must be in place for the safe, respectful discussion of controversial topics

Pros

• The 13-page packet includes the brief plan, discussion questions and model responses, and the homework assignment
• Common Core designed

Cons

• No attempt is made to integrate the college writing stand into the lesson
