Description
In this Mid-Unit Assessment, students use textual evidence from paragraphs 1–21 of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to craft a formal, multi-paragraph essay identifying King’s purpose and addressing how King’s rhetoric and specific word choices advance this purpose. Students review their annotated text, lesson Quick Writes, discussion notes, homework notes, and Rhetorical Impact Tracking Tools to organize their ideas. Students then develop their essays with relevant and sufficient facts, extended definitions, concrete details, and quotations.
