1) How can the unit quickly get students into a dialog about the subject (s) so that they are learning from one another and so that the teacher lectures only when necessary? (This is what the learning will look like.)
2) How can students teach themselves and each other, in such a way that deepens, extends, and makes relevant the subject matter? (This is what the learning will be about.)
3) How can the unit expand the subject matter to include lynching in the West and other places outside the south, in such a way that maintains a historical connection to the most common form of lynching, with African Americans as it victims. (Making connections)
4) How can the unit get students to feel and express outrage and empathy about the subject, and so they can feel and express outrage and empathy about other historical events, as well as current events? (This is an enduring understanding.)
