Focus: What will your verse be?
Tribe: Slightly shortened class.
1. Warming up with a musical chairs in response to yesterday's reflections
Round 1: Highlight a line or two that resonates with something you wrote. Offer a comment.
Round 2: Highlight a line or two and pose a follow-up discussion question.
Round 3: You need your blue packet for this one. Highlight a line or two and insert a phrase or line from "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" that relates.
Follow-up: What did you learn yesterday that's important?
2. Contemplating Whitman's "I Hear America Singing" and Hughes' "I, Too"
HW:
By Friday, please watch the Harlem Renaissance documentary linked below. It will give you the background on the Harlem Renaissance that you need to succeed this week. You can start the documentary 15 minutes into it.
*WARNING: If you choose to watch the first 15 minutes (not required), there are upsetting photographs of lynchings between minutes 5 and 7.*
So you could watch about 15 minutes a night, you could watch it all in one gloriously informative off hour, or you could FLIP class--you can watch parts of the film in class and do the in-class stuff for homework. Do what works for you and your schedule.
Documentary link: Making a Way Out of No Way
On Friday, you will be asked to take about 15 minutes to fill out a reflection sheet on the documentary. It will be divided into Level 1, 2, and 3 thinking. As long as you watched the documentary, you will be just fine. No need to memorize anything.
