Analyzing the 1950s Color Line: February 12, 2018

Focus: What do we need understand about power and empathy in 1950s America?

1. Warming up with three good things

2. Presenting on the 1950s Color Line topics; gathering background using this note catcher

3. Distributing Fences and conducting title interviews

• Your partner must sketch the fence you are describing and prompt you with follow-up questions to make sure they're getting it right.

• What material is is made of?
• How tall is it?
• Is it in good shape?
• Where is it?

• Look back over your note catcher from today's presentations. What metaphorical/symbolic connection can you make between your fence and the topics discussed today? Explain this to your partner while he/she takes notes.

HW:
1. Spend 5-10 minutes reviewing your Fences vocabulary (on Quizlet).

2. Make sure you have spent an extra 15 minutes on Friday's writing activity (if you were absent, spend 30 minutes on it before tomorrow).
