Part 3: SPO Scaffold Directions: Select and label the topic sentence (TS) in the group below. Then, number the supporting detail sentences in the correct order. ___ Initially, students gain a solid foundation at the sentence-level. ___ Since writing can be difficult and overwhelming, The Hochman Method provides a scaffolded approach. ___ After students have had ample practice planning and revising single paragraphs, they learn to develop a Multiple-Paragraph Outline (MPO) to plan a composition. ___ At the single-paragraph level, students learn a variety of revision strategies to improve the substance of their writing. ___ When students are ready to write a paragraph, they learn to use a Single-Paragraph Outline (SPO). Part 4: SPO Scaffold Directions: Cross out the irrelevant sentence in the paragraph. Since the proper formatting of TWR activities maximizes their effectiveness, keep the following tips in mind. For example, when providing students fragments in a list, leave out capitalization and end punctuation because you want students to supply these. When creating because, but & so activities, provide a line directly following the conjunctions, as this mimics the way the students write a sentence. Conjunction activities raise the linguistic complexity of students’ sentences and boost reading comprehension. In sentence expansion activities, provide dotted lines after the question words as a reminder for students to write in note-form. In general, make sure to give ample space on worksheets so that student responses are not constrained. If you keep all this in mind, you will be setting your students up for success! Part 5: Reading Jackie Robinson HISTORY.COM Editors (modified) In 1947, Jackie Robinson, a talented and versatile player, broke baseball’s color barrier when he began to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson won the National League Rookie of the Year award his first season, and helped the Dodgers win the National League championship – the first of his six trips to the World Series. In 1949, Robinson won the league MVP award, and he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Despite his skill, Robinson faced a barrage of insults and threats because of his race. The courage and grace with which Robinson handled the abuses inspired a generation of African Americans to question the doctrine of “separate but equal” and helped pave the way for the Civil Rights Movement. When general manager Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers offered Robinson the chance to break organized baseball’s powerful but unwritten color line, the fiery ballplayer accepted and agreed to Rickey’s condition: that he not respond to the abuse he would face. Jackie Robinson’s Baseball Career Jackie Robinson’s debut in organized baseball (April 18, 1946, with the Montreal Royals of the International League, the Dodgers’ best farm club) is now a legend. In five at-bats he hit a three-run homer and three singles, stole two bases, and scored four times, twice by forcing the pitcher to balk. Promoted to the Dodgers the following spring, Robinson thrived on the pressure and established himself as the most exciting player in baseball. His playing style combined traditional elements of black sports–the opportunistic risk-taking known as “tricky baseball” in the Negro Leagues–with an aggressive style of play. In their response to Jackie Robinson, African Americans rejected “separate but equal” status and embraced integration; huge numbers flocked to see the Dodgers from great distances. African American sportswriters, many of whom had advocated baseball integration for years, focused their attentions on Robinson and the black players who followed him. His success encouraged the integration of professional football, basketball, and tennis, while the Negro Leagues, which in a sense depended on segregation, began an irreversible decline, losing ballplayers, spectators and reporters. During his first two years with the Dodgers, Robinson kept his word to Rickey and endured astonishing abuse amid national scrutiny without fighting back. His dignified courage in the face of virulent racism–from jeers and insults to beanballs, hate mail, and death threats–commanded the admiration of whites as well as blacks and foreshadowed the tactics that the 1960s Civil Rights Movement would develop into the theory and practice of nonviolence. Jackie Robinson and Civil Rights Robinson, however, finally broke his emotional and political silence in 1949, becoming an outspoken and controversial opponent of racial discrimination. He criticized the slow pace of baseball integration and objected to the Jim Crow practices in the Southern states where most clubs held spring training. Robinson led other ballplayers in urging baseball to use its economic power to desegregate Southern towns, hotels and ballparks. Since most baseball teams integrated relatively calmly, the “Jackie Robinson experiment” provided an important example of successful desegregation to ambivalent white political and business leaders. When he retired from baseball in 1957, Robinson sought to bring the same tactics to bear on increasing African American employment opportunities. His lifelong struggle continued to his last public appearance, nine days before he died: He told television viewers of an Old-Timers’ Game, “I’d like to live to see a black manager.” Adapted from: History.com Editors (2019, June 7).
