Objective: I can use evidence from the text to evaluate how civil rights leaders created change. Students did a jigsaw activity by reading three different articles on leaders against racism: Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass. They answered the question: What is the most effective strategy to bring about change? Organizing others Making speeches Speaking to leaders Giving help to those directly in need Writing something that informs the public Warm-Up: Use a semi-colon ; OR a comma , and a FANBOY For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet to create one sentence. Use three different choices. Example: I like to eat. Berries are gross. I like to eat, but berries are gross. Dinner is ready. Mom’s cooking is delicious. I want a cookie. Oatmeal is the best. I like to sleep at 9 PM. My favorite TV show starts at 10 PM.
