Concepts
Instructional Ideas
- The poem, speech, and short story are powerful and pain-filled; carefully preview each resource to determine how you will scaffold them into the lesson
Classroom Considerations
- Class members should be familiar with the "4-2-1" strategy
- Requires devices with internet to view the Poetry Slam and President Obama's Orlando speech and copies of John Steinbeck's short story "Why Soldiers Won't Talk"
Pros
- Materials are available in Spanish and English
Cons
- Some learners may require additional scaffolding to reduce their response to a life experience to a tweet
