Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Identify the main idea and supporting details of each paragraph in an informational passage.
Determine a vocabulary word's part of speech and its meaning as used in context.
Write an analysis paragraph that uses textual evidence to explain the effects of the Jim Crow laws.

Teaching tips

Assign the three reads on separate days or class periods, since each has a distinct purpose — annotate, define vocabulary, then summarize and analyze.
Use the annotation key on the passage page (PDF page 2) (circle main ideas, underline details, box unknown words) as a reusable anchor for future close readings.
Share the linked Google Slides version for a paperless option, since a digital copy is included alongside the printable pages.

Skills covered

Close reading annotation — students circle main ideas, underline supporting details, and box unfamiliar words in a nonfiction passage.
Determining word meaning in context — students identify part of speech and definition for words like "enforced" and "fueled" as used in the passage.
Evidence-based analysis writing — students write a paragraph explaining the effects of the Jim Crow laws, supported by textual evidence.
