SNCC’S NOTES ON TEACHING IN MISSISSIPPI
(BOOK TWO, pages 93 – 104)
Dear Teacher,
This is the situation.
You will be teaching young people who have lived in Mississippi all their lives.
That means that they have been deprived of a decent education from first grade through high school.
It means that they have been denied the right to question.
The purpose of the Freedom School is to help them begin to question.
They will be different, but they will have in common the scars of the system.
Some will be cynical.
Some will be distrustful.
All of them will have a serious lack of preparation, but all of them will have knowledge far beyond their years.
This knowledge is the knowledge of how to survive in a society that is out to destroy you.
They will demand that you be honest…

"The Freedom School"
Pull-out quote:
"Welcome to the Freedom School.
My name is Ms. Greene, and this is the beginning of something different.
You’ve all been deprived of a decent education.
The world has kept you from the tools to ask why, to question what’s around you, what’s been done to you.
But that’s going to change here."
"Today, we begin with the most important thing I can teach you: how to question."
Let’s work on crafting an engaging headline for your movie using those powerful quotes. I’ll provide you with some strategies and prompts to inspire you to create a compelling headline:
1. Use Power Words: Think about strong words from the quotes, like “Freedom,” “Change,” and “Question.” How can you use these to create a headline that grabs attention?
2. Incorporate Numbers: Consider using a number to draw readers in. For example, “5 Lessons from Freedom School” or “10 Ways Freedom Changes Everything.”
3. Create Urgency: How can you convey the urgency of the change happening at the Freedom School? Perhaps something like “Now is the Time for Change at Freedom School.”
4. Ask Provocative Questions: Turn a question into a headline. For example, “Are You Ready to Question Everything?”
5. Use Humor or Puns: Could you incorporate a clever play on words? Maybe something like “School’s Out for Complacency.”
I can provide you with examples if you want to see them. All you have to do is to hit Reply with AI, ask me to show examples and I will show them to you.
Once you’re inspired, write your own headline in a Reply and then ask in a Reply with AI for me to give you feedback on your headline.
