Lesson 1.7 Objective

Analyzing Across Cultures In Pat Mora’s “A Voice,” the speaker, a first-generation American, explains how her mother inspired her and her siblings to find their own voices and speak up. Reading this text alongside “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention” will prompt students to consider how words can have an impact across generations.

Students will write a short response in which they demonstrate their understanding of how the speaker’s description of the setting conveys her attitude towards her background.
