Grading Required
Students deliver a brief live defense of their multimedia case study to a small group, pairing one MLK quotation with one current example of systemic racism and explaining the mental health impact with research-based support. Peers ask unscripted challenge questions about credibility, counterevidence, and reasoning, and speakers must respond with specific evidence rather than opinion. The activity ends with a written exit ticket connecting one evidence-based claim from the letter to a current example of injustice affecting mental health and noting one way the student's stance became more nuanced.
