Activity #3 – Tossed Terms in use/ I Have a Dream Vocabulary

Grade Level:

Instructional Routine: #43 Tossed Terms

Objectives (Write 1 or 2 objectives stating expected learner outcomes.): The Student will be able to define the vocabulary terms extracted from Dr. Martin Luther King’s iconic “I Have A Dream” Speech.

Materials/Resources Needed: Vocabulary list visually presented (we have a Handout!) and a terminology Die for review.

Anticipatory Set (List specific statements or activities you will use to focus students on the lesson for the day.): Contextualize the lesson with extracts from the Speech. Public speaking was different in the 60s. In the past speeches were valuable and the rhetoric and the art of wordplay was emphasized. The language hasn’t changed, but some of the words we once used have changed.

Objective/Purpose (For the student's benefit, explain what students will be able to do by the end of the lesson and why these objectives are important to accomplish.): the student will be able to recognize and define the following words: Segregation, Exile, Interposition, Tranquility, Manacles and Degenerate.

Input (What information is essential for the student to know before

beginning and how will this skill be communicated to students?): The student will need to be aware of the words and the context where the words were found. I’m assuming familiarity with the speech, but plan to read the sentences where each word was found for the lesson.

Model (If you will be demonstrating the skill or competence, how will this be done?):

Modeling will include a brief over view of the words and context with definitions provided if the students are unable to provide those on their own. Following the overview, the rules of the game will be explained and demonstrated.

Check for Understanding (Identify strategies to be used to determine if students have learned the objectives.):


The game should highlight student understanding. Our first throws will require those rolling the die to define, followed by the student, on their second roll, using the term in a sentence of their own generation.

Guided Practice (List activities which will be used to guide student practice and provide a time frame for completing this practice.): To practice we will use a word die to randomly question each student on their competence with the new words.

Closure (What method of review and evaluation will be used to complete the lesson?): As a wrap up I will ask the class what word was their favorite, and which word they think they will use in everyday speech?

Independent Practice (List homework/seatwork assignment to be given to students to ensure they have mastered the skill without teacher guidance.): For tomorrow, very briefly summarize the contents of the speech using our vocabulary words. This should be no more than three sentences and you should use at least two of the six new words in those sentences.

All words taken from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s on August 28th, 1963, made from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. at the conclusion of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

 

Words and context:

 “One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.”

“There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights.”

“We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.”

“One hundred years later the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.”

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers”

Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
