This lesson serves as a supplement to an ELA/ENL (formerly ESL) unit on Democracy, which uses the Scholastic Code X curriculum as a frame. In this unit, students explore the ways that writers express their opinions meaningfully in plays and poetry through the characters and figures in their storytelling. By analyzing an excerpt from the play, Twelve Angry Men (Reginald Rose) and two poems titled Democracy (Langston Hughes, Sara Holbrook), students explore the idea of perspective as a powerful part of forming an opinion. As an extension, students explore the mood and tone conveyed in the black-and-white film adaptation of Twelve Angry Men.
Through
media analysis, and the FRAME concept, students are able to further grasp and
apply their understanding of the ways that one’s perspective can drive his or
her opinions. The media analysis component of this lesson, as a framework, can
be applied to any media coverage of a specific issue, or used to incorporate
the current events at the time the unit is taught. For the purpose of this PD
project, the media analysis component explores immigration reform in the U.S.
Depending on the content of media coverage, and the issue being discussed,
students may require an opportunity to build background through additional
lessons, assignments and resources.
English
Language Learners at varying proficiency levels receive differentiated
instruction to meet their needs. Such
differentiation includes multiple points of entry (vocabulary scaffold),
student choice in response-type (verbal or written), access to L1/native
language through bilingual glossaries and the option for students to draft
responses in their native language prior to sharing in English.
