About this lesson:

Students read and analyze claims in “Every Man A King” by Huey Long.

Additional Notes:

• Consider linking the audio of the text on a class website for use throughout the unit.

• Prior to the lesson, write the following claims on individual sheets of chart paper and display around the room:

  • “We have no difficult problem in America.”

  • “We have a marvelous form of government.”

  • “It is necessary to save the government of this country and the American People.”

  • “Centralized power… is the trouble.”

• For larger classes, duplicate the claims as necessary.
