    Choice Articles
    Directions: ​You will choose ​two articles​ to read today. They can be about the same
    topic, or different topics. For each article, complete each step of the assignment by
    following directions listed and answering the questions.
    ______________________________________________________________________

    Article 1

    Step 1:​ Choose an article either from the folder about examples of systemic
    discrimination, or find one of your own from a scholarly source and get it approved by
    Mrs. Harper.

    1. What is the title of the article you chose?


    Civil Rights Leaders: Martin Luther King
    Jr.
    2. Why did you select this article?
    I selected this article because Martin Luther had showed us that if we want something to
    change we need to be able to stand up for ourselves and the people around us.
    Step 2:​ Read the article and write a summary using WWWWWH below.
    Who?Martin Luther KIng Jr.
    What?Was an activist and a leader for his people.
    When?From 1929-1969
    Where?Georgia
    Why?Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to end all segregation against
    African-Americans.
    How?He did so by boycotting, marching and protesting, giving inspiring
    speeches.
    Summary:Martin Luther King Jr. had devoted himself after going to college and
    marrying his wife to help eliminated segregation against african americans. He
    did so by giving speeches at marches and other events. He helped pass the law
    were people could no longer segregate in public. He did lots more before being
    assassinated in 1969.

    Step 3​: Answer the following discussion questions in complete sentences ​using ACE​.

    1. Who was being ​discriminated​ against? Why?


     

    African americans were being discriminated because of their color. In the text it
    mentioned how they would have to give up their seats for the whites. This shows how
    the people showed little to no respect at all to them. Treating them as a minor priority,
    and most importantly as if they weren't even people.

    2. What ​injustices​ were present in the article you read?


    They were always treated as if they didn’t matter and like they didn't deserve any
    respect. It mentioned how they weren't even allowed to vote. They were treated
    as if they didn't have a voice, as if they didn't have rights or were even humans.
    3. How is this an example of ​oppression​?
    They were shown many levels of oppression when they tried to stand up for what
    they believed in. during their rallies and marches violence was used against them
    hurting women and children. They were being oppressed so much that they
    couldn't even try to stand up for themselves in fear of hurting their family or
    themselves.
    4. Compare and contrast- what similarities and differences do you see between the
    discrimination of those in the article you read and the discrimination Elie and his family
    faced in ​Night​?
    The discrimination they faced was very similar. They were treated as if all the problems
    that happened was because of them, they were treated with no respect. The difference
    was that Elie and his family had been sent to a concentration camp with others of their
    kind so they could die. They were both treated poorly over something that they couldn't
    control, their featured and religions.

    Step 1:​ Choose another article either from the folder about examples of systemic
    discrimination, or find one of your own from a scholarly source and get it approved by

    after firing tear gas at migrants
    2. Why did you select this article?
    I selected this this article because it is something that is going on right now, it's a
    problem that needs to be solved.
    Step 2:​ Read the article and write a summary using WWWWWH below.
     

    Who?Migrants, U.S border patrol


    What?Migrants are trying to cross over and border patrol is tear gassing them to

    Where?Border town of Tijuana mexico
    Why?U.S doesn't want to help the migrants who are seeking refuge and asylum.
    How?By tear gassing the people and keeping them detained.

    Summary:People are trying to migrate to the U.S after facing poverty and
    extreme violence in their country. They tried doing so by crossing in the
    thousands by the border. The U.S isnt letting them in and is trying to put up walls
    to keep these peole from escaping their old lives.

    Step 3​: Answer the following discussion questions in complete sentences ​using ACE​.

    1. What ​injustices​ were present in the article you read?


    The injustice present is that they are treating migrants in a cruel manner not
    letting them in to escape from the hardship they face. Many say that they are
    violent people coming to kill. That is not true though all they want is a better life.
    2. Who was being ​discriminated​ against? Why?
    The migrants had been discriminated against because people dont want them
    here. They are creating a problem and the way that they are trying to get in is
    unlawful. The people are being discriminated because they arent getting the
    same chances that people from other places might be getting.
    3. How is this an example of ​oppression​?
    By using tear gass they used oppresion to keep them from entering. It mentions that
    when things got too out of hand border patrol used tear gas n them. This is oppresion
    because you are sing cruel ways to try and get what you want. Especially because there
    were children and women in there when this had happened.
    4. Compare and contrast- what similarities and differences do you see between the
    discrimination of those in the article you read and the discrimination Elie and his family
    faced in ​Night​?
    Its similar the Night because they had been treated with violence. They were treated as
    if all the problems were because of them. Although they were both attacked, the people
    in night were locjed in a camp to work for the people that were trying to kill them.
