Must We Hate Them? October 6

Warm-Up Grab notebooks Be ready for the Do Now – Points Start @ Bell “I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs” – Frederick Douglass What does the quote say? What do you think it means? Why might this be important to me or someone else?

Today’s Focus New Tool: Say, Mean, Matter Focus: Reading a non-fiction selection for author’s purpose and meaning How: Using our new tool to find important information in the text to support our views

Make This Chart for Practice SAY MEAN MATTER

Step 1: What Does It Say? What does the text say? What happened? Cite text (quotation) or paraphrase

What does it Say?

Step 2: What does it Mean? What does the author mean? How do I interpret this? Read “between the lines.”

What does it Mean?

Step 3: Why it Matters Why does it matter to me or others? Why is this important? What is the significance? (Worth attention) What are the implications for other people?

What does it Mean?

Let’s Practice With a Text Sample Copy the quote into the section 1: What it Says "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet" (p. 78).

You Try: What does it Mean? Write what you believe it means in box 2 What something is called, is less important that what it is This is a simile used by Juliet to describe her desire to be with Romeo even though his last name matches her family’s enemies

You Try: Why does it Matter Write your response in box 3 This reminds me of society because society often judges things based on what something is called or looks like instead what it actually is. Shakespeare uses a simile to show the false comparison between names and attributes because to Juliet, Romeo’s attributes are more important than Romeo’s name.

Text Focus We’ve practiced the tool “Say, Mean, Matter” Now we have to demonstrate what we know, and what we need to continue to work on The next selection will allow us to do this

About the text In April of 1937, Jamaican-born mechanic Canute Frankson left his home in Detroit and travelled to Europe to join the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, a group of approximately 2,800 American volunteers who were keen to offer support in the fight against Franco and his supporters during the Spanish Civil War. Three months after arriving, Frankson wrote the following powerful letter to a friend back home in an effort to explain why he, "a Negro," had chosen to participate in "a war between whites who for centuries have held us in slavery." Frankson did return home just over a year later; sadly, he died shortly afterwards in a road traffic accident. As we know, Franco was ultimately victorious. He ruled Spain until his death in 1975.

Create a New Chart Say Mean Matter

Paragraph 1 I'm sure that by this time you are still waiting for a detailed explanation of what has this international struggle to do with my being here. Since this is a war between whites who for centuries have held us in slavery, and have heaped every kind of insult and abuse upon us, segregated and jim-crowed us; why I, a Negro, who have fought through these years for the rights of my people am here in Spain today.

The Text: Must We Hate Them? Task: Read Paragraph 1 Pick one of the following to put in your Say BOX: A quote which you think is important in this paragraph A quote you may not understand

What does it Mean Write what you believe the paragraph/quote means Or What do you think the author means? Possible Answer: You might be wondering why I am so willing to fight for a people that have never treated me as an equal

Why does it Matter Why is this important? What makes this worth attention? Possible answer It’s important because he’s willing to fight for a cause for people whom have not treated his people as equals

Paragraph 2 Because we are no longer an isolated minority group fighting hopelessly against an immense giant, because, my dear, we have joined with, and become an active part of, a great progressive force, on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of saving human civilization from the planned destruction of a small group of degenerates gone mad in their lust for power. Because if we crush Fascism here, we'll save our people in America, and in other parts of the world, from the vicious prosecution, wholesale imprisonment, and slaughter which the Jewish people suffered and are suffering under Hitler's Fascist heels.

Paragraph 3 All we have to do is to think of the lynching of our people. We can but look back at the pages of American history stained with the blood of Negroes, stink with the burning bodies of our people hanging from trees; bitter with the groans of our tortured loved ones from whose living bodies, ears, fingers, toes, have been cut for souvenirs—living bodies into which red-hot pokers have been thrust. All because of a hate created in the minds of men and women by their masters who keep us all under their heels while they such our blood, while they live in their bed of ease by exploiting us.
