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

Common Core

RL.11-12.2 RL.11-12.4 W.11-12.3.c W.11-12.9.b
