Birmingham (1963) and passage
from "Mountaintop" speech. (Handout #4) At
this point students should speculate, based on previous
knowledge, on the connections between the phrase and
the individuals and events of the civil rights movement.
They will return to this same question as part of the
assessment for this unit.
Move to discussion about what King meant by "there
was a certain kind of fire no water could put out."
Use t-chart (Handout #4) to students explore, metaphorically,
their own "fires, the "waters" that get
poured on them, and what strategies might be used to
keep the "fires" alive and to overcome the
"waters". |
