2. Today’s Goal: Learn more about the compare/contrast structure as we analyze a feature article, “Separate but Never Equal” (PDF online).
Outcomes:
Define the term “segregation.”
State the Supreme Court case (title and date) that made segregation legal in the U.S.

Identify the compare/contrast elements in the article, “Separate but Never Equal.”
Determine the main point of the article, “Separate but Never Equal.”

3. Starter #1:
Last week we learned about three organizational structures frequently used in informational reading.
Can you name those three organizational structures? We learned about those when we watched the Discovery Ed video about the circus. Those structures are . . .
* Sequence of Events (or “Chronological Order”)
* Cause and Effect (think “Dominoes”), e.g. The Titanic
* Compare and Contrast
Today’s Coach lesson will help us review the Compare-Contrast structure and prepare us for analyzing today’s Lit reading:

4. Starter #2:
Something special occurred on this date, exactly 90 years ago, on January 15, Can anyone guess what event happened that day? x
On exactly this date 90 years ago, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., was born. Reverend King was more than a pastor

5. Starter #3:
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a strong activist for social justice—something we as Catholics hold dear.
What is social justice?
Both Catholics and Protestants believe that God cares about being just and fair in all our dealings, whether economic, political, or social. Scripture teaches us this: “What does the Lord require of you, but to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.” —Micah 6:8

6. Starter #3: Raise your hand if you can define the following term:
“Segregation”
Segregation means separating people from a group because of their race, ethnic background, or religion. [There are four/five races but many ethnic groups within each race.]
Is segregation a good thing or a bad thing? Why?
Do you think a country would ever make segregation legal?
Believe it or not, the U.S. made segregation legal for almost 60 years. What were they thinking? Let’s find out.
Turn in your Chrome book to “Separate but Never Equal.” It is on the Resource page and/or the Assignments page of our website.
Before we start reading this article, however, we need to learn the back story behind it, which introduces us to a famous court case.
