What's this all about?

The third quarter of English 9 is devoted to our Social Action unit. Here's a simplified rundown of our unit:

Students will...

1. explore the concept of activism by studying popular music for either social issues or themes of positive change

2. examine our community to find activists working hard to make our community a better place

3. study activism in history by reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Letter From a Birmingham Jail and investigating the Civil Rights Movement

4. choose an issue that aligns with their passions, then take action in whatever way possible.

Here's a Prezi that breaks the unit down as well:
