Objective: I can write a reflection about the theme of segregation as it occurs in the arrest scene from the movie by writing notes and completing the sentence stem.  Also, I can add inferences to my SSR book by following the steps of 4-Column Inference Journal.

BW:  Each student will paraphrase this quote in one or two sentences:  “When The Help is used as an educational resource, the terror-filled realities of the time are glossed over or omitted in favor of a heartwarming–and entirely fictional–idea that racial equality came about because white people realized their unfairness and did something about it.”

Activities:

  1.  Reflection:  Students will retell the events of the arrest scene by applying two or three notes from the replay.
  2. Video:  Students will take note on the next segment of the movie.
  3. Share Out:  Is the scene “upsetting” enough?  Explain.
  4. SSR:  Students will add inferences to their 4-Column journals.
  5. Reminder:  For those students who did not write the Final Draft of the smartphone essay, a last chance for make-up will occur after school on Thursday(1/10) from 2:20 until 3:15 pm.  There have been 5 or more opportunities for this make-up before the holiday break, so this will be the last one.
