Students draft a one-page position statement that argues how systemic racism diminishes psychological well-being, using at least two claims from *Letter from Birmingham Jail* and initial quoted evidence. They give feedback to 2 peers using a short critique checklist focused on thesis clarity, strength of warrants, and whether quotations are explained rather than dropped in. Students revise immediately after feedback and submit both the marked draft and revised version, then complete the weekly exit ticket connecting one MLK-based claim to a current example of injustice affecting mental health and well-being.
