Offering you a quick preview of tomorrow...
1. Warming up with a 1950s timeline
On the back of your note catcher, try to analyze the larger patterns of the 1950s by making a complex claim:
- The 1950s was a time of ___________ but also _____________.
2. Jigsawing on the 1950s Color Line topics; gathering background using this note catcher
2nd Hour Links:
Neighborhoods and the Color Line
Racial Terrorism
3. Considering the play's title, Fences
- Find an image of a fence. Copy and paste it into a document inside your "Race and Power" folder.
- What do fences keep in?
- What do fences keep out?
- Read the opening descriptions in the play:
- What connections can you make between what you learned about in our jigsaw discussions and what you're seeing in the play so far?
- Why might the play be called Fences? What does this have to do with the color line?
HW:
1. For TOMORROW: Be ready to teach others about your 1950s topic in a jigsaw format.

Step 3: Select ONE photo that particularly strikes you, and paste it into your blog. Perform and MMM reading on it on your blog and post it.
M = Moments (which particular details in the photograph make you pause / take a moment?)
