Remember….. We are comparing three mediums of information: speech, analysis of the speech, and short video about the March on Washington (keep in mind the performance task question: Should freedom be given or taken?) from Nobody Turn Me Around: A People’s History of the 1963 March on Washington by Charles Euchner (Lexile 130L) Before the second read….. Questions to consider Advantages and Disadvantages for each medium Why might it be important for you to read the text of Dr. King’s speech, rather than simply read an analysis and watch a video about it Share thoughts-take notes on why you agree or disagree with speakers from class Please focus on the “as you read” note on page 55: “How the author structures the text to help you visualize the events. Write down any questions you generate.” Analyze Ideas and Events (Authors often structure an analysis of an event by providing background in the introduction) Euchner offers background information that includes details about the way King spoke. Reread lines and notice how he pronounced specific words. What does Euchner accomplish by including these details? Analyze Impact of Word Choice (Euchner opens the selection with a simile, a figure of speech that compares two dissimilar things using the word like or as) Read lines 1-2 and explain what the simile means. Analyze Impact of Word Choice (Anaphora is a type of repetition in which the first word or words are repeated in a series of statements)
