Building BackgroundThe Civil Rights Movement As you watch the video, ask yourself “Why do people risk their lives to get equality?”
Examine “American History” Infer and RAP handout • The author will tell us about a teenage girl’s experience as a Puerto Rican immigrant • Examine the example on the handout of one scene in the narrative where there is “disparity” between whites and immigrants • Write 2 events or scenes in the narrative where you see disparity
ACTIVITY: What can you infer? Question: How does Ortiz let the reader know there are disparities (inequality) between whites and immigrants like Elena?
Writing Instruction & Practice Whenever you speak or write, assume your audience doesn’t have a clue what you are talking/writing about. R If you don’t restate the question somewhere in your response, your audience will spend most of their time trying to figure out what you’re talking/writing about. AIf you don’t answer in detail, they will only get a superficial (fluffy) idea of what you’re thinking. P If you don’t use an example or evidence, they will think you don’t really have any proof to back up your idea. +If you don’t explain your proof, they will wonder whether it really proves what you’re saying or whether you just threw something out there hoping it will help prove your point.
