Unit 2: In this unit, students are introduced to working conditions of a variety of workers in the United States throughout history. Beginning with a speech by César Chávez, students will analyze the response to the difficult working and living conditions faced by agricultural workers. This is primarily a reading unit, and it focuses on students’ ability to determine the central ideas of a text and analyze how they are developed, understand how people and events interact in that text, and consider how an author organizes a text so that each section of the text relates to the central claim. Finally, students will apply their understanding of text structure to analyze a new speech by Chávez.
