Analyzing Use of Rhetoric
ELA Grade 11 Curriculum Map
Description
Students analyze two seminal texts about African Americans in post Emancipation America. Students begin this unit by reading “Of Our Spiritual Strivings,” the first chapter of W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk. Student analysis focuses on how Du Bois develops his point of view that African Americans must obtain the full civil rights of “culture, work, and liberty” in order to achieve social equality. Next, students analyze Booker T. Washington’s “Atlanta Compromise Speech,” considering how Washington develops his point of view that economic security is more important than social integration in improving the conditions of African Americans and their relations with white Southerners. Read together, these texts form a compelling conversation, in which each author presents a nuanced argument for the crucial role of African Americans in post-Emancipation America.Downloads
