Unit 1: In Unit 1, students will be introduced to the module's theme of taking a stand by reading several speeches given by real people who stand up for a cause to better others. (Shirley Chisholm & Sojourner Truth's) Students will analyze texts to understand how the structure contributes to the meaning and style, the speaker's claims and supporting evidence, and how the speaker addresses counterclaims. As students begin reading the novel (To Kill A Mockingbird) they gather evidence related to the theme. They also consider how the author draws upon the Golden Rule and renders it new.
