Critical Reading

What is the subject of the Supreme Court case? (That is, what do the two sides want?)
_______________________________________________________________________
What is your opinion on this case? Do you think Phelps or Snyder should win, why?

_______________________________________________________________________

On Oct. 6, the US Supreme Court takes up a case examining whether members of the Westboro
Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., went too far when they staged a protest at a fallen marine's
funeral in Maryland. The demonstrators hoisted signs proclaiming: "You Are Going to Hell" and
"Thank God for Dead Soldiers."

Fred Phelps, pastor of the Westboro church, has made a career out of using blunt and offensive
statements to try to shock Americans into joining his crusade against gay rights. His followers
show up at military funerals and announce that God is killing American soldiers for the sins of the
country for condoning homosexuality.

In Maryland, it was too much for the grieving father, Albert Snyder, to endure. He sued. The case
pits Mr. Snyder's First Amendment right to peacefully assemble in a church to mourn his son's
passing against the Westboro protesters' right to chant harsh slogans and display shocking signs
in their campaign for moral salvation of the nation.

The essence of free speech in America is not that you can say whatever you want. There is no
constitutional right to libel someone, or to produce and distribute child pornography, or to use
"fighting words" that are sure to provoke fisticuffs.
In the most quoted example, there is no constitutional right to falsely yell "Fire!" in a crowded
theater. Government regulation of that speech is appropriate because of the predictable outcome
of the panic.

On the other hand, the First Amendment's free speech clause is intended to be broadly
permissive. Mere offense is not enough to trigger government censorship.
Intro to New Material: Vocabulary Whip Around

Group Practice

We are going to play a game of ¡Matamoscas!


We are going to split into two teams
One representative from each team will come to the board.
Each person will have a flyswatter.

I will say the definition of a word out loud.


The people with the flyswatters must hit the word that I am talking about.
You can only hit one word.
The first team to hit the correct word will get a point.

IF THE FLY SWATTERS ARE USED INAPPROPRIATELY,


two points will be deducted.

Independent Practice

BOOM BAG!
The Directions
1. Work with one partner
2. Your partner will select a card for you
3. The winner is the person who has the most points
4. No need to keep score. Each card is its own point.
5. If you get the question correct, then keep the card. If wrong, then it goes back in the bag.
6. If you pull a BOOM card, then all of your points are erased.

HOMEWORK: Make a Mind Map

1. Create a mind map of the vocabulary words that we use today.


2. Remember to start with the unit title in the center.
