Description
In this lesson, students reread and analyze paragraphs 26–33 of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Students review these paragraphs in order to analyze how King develops and refines ideas from earlier in the text. After engaging in evidence-based discussion of the ideas developed in paragraphs 26–33, students take part in a jigsaw activity in which they determine how these ideas refine ideas from earlier in the text. The lesson closes with a Quick Write in response to the following prompt: How does King use paragraphs 26–33 to develop and refine an idea from earlier in the text?
