• Insert an image or short video that is representative of that event.
• Write a 1 or 2 sentence statement asserting the significance of that event.
• Finally, insert a quotation from MLK's Mountaintop Speech that contains an idea that links to the event.
3. When finished, we'll look at the slide show and then respond to these questions. This response is part of your portfolio:

• What events stand out to you as most significant and why?

Country in Turmoil

Yesterday, we watched until about 37:00 of Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam.

Today, after looking at these statistics about the escalation of the war, we'll begin work on the Country in Turmoil Web Assignment. We'll look at the first section together and then try to complete the next few on our own. (Sec. 1-5 are due by Thursday).

Into Vietnam

We'll start by introducing the Presidencies in Turmoil assignment.
Next we'll review our notes from Poisoned Dreams, discussing what the Vietnam War was about.
Then, we'll divide up and look at three documents, identifying justifications for war and discussing whether or not we thought they were good reasons.
We'll finish by examining the impact of the Tonkin Gulf Resolution.
In the remaining time, we'll begin watching Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam.

Document 1: Kennedy Letters
Document 2: Johnson Message to the Nation on Tonkin Gulf
Document 3: Johnson Message to Congress

Tonkin Gulf Resolution

Selma and Voting Rights

During the first part of class today, we'll watch what happened with the fight for voting rights in Selma, Alabama in 1965: Selma (1965) and (Part II) responding to the last section in our Youth in the Civil Rights Movement document. Note, for the final reflection, you only need to choose one moment from each section (2 total, not 4).

In the 2nd part of class, we'll work to get an update on the state of voting rights today by reading and reflecting on the articles in this document: Voting Rights 2018

Freedom Summer and Malcolm X

We'll begin by watching Eyes on the Prize: Freedom Summer (Part I, Part II), taking notes and responding in our Youth in the Movement document (add Malcolm X to the list of people to pay attention to in the film).
Then, with your partner listed below, you'll work to compare the speeches that you read for homework today using this Venn Diagram. To do your comparison, begin by sharing the most compelling or interesting quotations from the speech (the ones you annotated) and then discuss the ideas that they represent. As you discuss, start to fill out the venn diagram with the similarities and differences between the ideas from each speech.
Then, together, discuss and answer the questions at the bottom of the sheet (and listed below). While you may discuss these questions together, each person should write out their own answers on the back of the venn diagram handout.

When finished comparing the two speeches, please respond to the following questions:

1. Which speech has the more effective message? Why?
2. In what ways might Malcolm X’s words appeal to the young men and women of SNCC working in Mississippi during Freedom Summer?  Which speech do you think is more appealing to them and why?
3. Read this Letter from Mecca that Malcolm X sends when he goes there on his hajj. In what ways does the letter contradict any of the ideas in either speech? In what ways does it enhance them?

Next, we'll analyze Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech from the March on Washington and watch the video of the complete speech.  When finished, we'll choose a line or phrase from the speech that will be the first line in our response to it.

Taking Action

Today, we'll continue to consider Youth and the Civil Rights Movement by watching the experience of college students in Nashville in 1960 and discussing the origins of SNCC.
During the 2nd part of class, we'll review what happened in Birmingham in 1963 and do some detailed analysis of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter From Birmingham Jail.
