The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow Video Circles
Literature circles have provided invaluable for teachers introducing literature as well as document-based instruction. The same tools can be used, with little “tweaking” when using documentaries as well as full length movies. The strategy is to leave enough time to accomplish your goals and to provide a way which students can watch the video on their own time. There are four major roles in video circles; summarizer, connector, wordsmith and plumber. Each role is described on the individual role

The Philosophy of Dr. King: Love Your Enemies (MLK Reading + Writing Activity)
Dr. Martin Luther King's "Love Your Enemies" sermon presents a compelling, powerful, and well-reasoned argument for why it is better for us to love our enemies rather than hate them.

The Prince: The Essential Quotes
The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli is one of the most influential books published during the Italian Renaissance. The work, an advice book to the Medici family on how to rule, is an example of the new values of humanism and secularism emerging during the Renaissance. I used to ask students to read this relatively brief work (127 or so pages) over the summer months. However, for the past 5 years, I wanted to make the course more inclusive to students. I stopped giving summer reading as a result.
