Please get the handouts off the counter!

Then, get a textbook!

REMINDERS!!!!• Vocab packets will be due on Friday! You

will have a quiz that day, as well!• Turn in your high school enrollment

verification forms to the tray today! If you don’t have them, get to me ASAP!

• EOI testing begins this week for different classes, so please make sure all phones, iPods, etc. are put away before class starts. Otherwise, I will take them to Mitchell! Get in the habit now!

Where does CHANGE begin?• What is the first to making a change? Does it start

with complaining? Does it start with protesting? Or does it start inside of each of us?

• We are going to listen to a song today by Michael Jackson that looks at the idea of where change should begin!

• As you listen, follow along with the lyrics! Then, begin answering the questions on the back to truly decide where you think change begins!

• This will put us in the right mindset as we begin to think about our next protest movement!

Civil Rights Movement:• We are now going to move onto another emotionally charged

protest movement that occurred in the US during the same time as the Vietnam Protest.

• The Civil Rights Movement that occurred in the United States slowly built up after the Civil War due to many privileges denied to black Americans.

• One of the key movements to aid Civil Rights leaders was the Harlem Renaissance, a result of the many advances that were going in Black American art, culture, movement and literature during the Harlem Renaissance.

• One of the most influential writers of this time was Langston Hughes – you will be reading his poem, “Theme for English B,” today in class.
