Submission Required
Students use a structured discussion tracker to build on classmates' ideas about which sources are most convincing and why, citing MLK language, data visuals, or headline evidence. In a rapid peer exchange, each student shares a draft claim with 2 peers, receives feedback on clarity and evidence, and revises the claim before submitting it. They finish with the weekly exit ticket: one evidence-based claim from Letter from Birmingham Jail connected to a current example of injustice affecting mental health and well-being.
