1. Warming up by updating your virtue charts
2. Find someone who read the same speech/essay that you did and talk through it:
- Which parts did you understand? Explain them to each other.
- Which parts confused you? Form questions about them and talk through them.
- Which THREE lines were the most central to this text? Why?
3. Mental jousting with yesterday's speeches by Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois
- Find a partner who read the OTHER speech/essay (not the same one you did).
- Become a group of four with a partnership who read the other speech; we'll use mental jousting to teach each other the speeches and discuss them.
4. Reading Langston Hughes' "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" around the circle
HW:
For TOMORROW: Please reread Hughes' "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" mark it up with your questions and reflections, particularly about what Hughes is teaching us about rising up in power.
Also, we will have a brief assessment on Grammar Focus #4: Modifiers.
