1. Warming up with an assessment on Grammar Focus #4: Modifers, and a quick survey on public speaking
2. Illustrating the "Racial Mountain" that Hughes uses as his central metaphor
- Draw a mountain. At the top are your big goals: Where / who do you hope to be in ten years?
- Draw yourself at the bottom.
- What obstacles must you conquer in order to get to the top?
- Think/pair/share: What mountain are we facing in America today?
4. Enjoying a visit from Mr. Miles and considering his C.E. Humanities class as an option for next year
HW:
BY NEXT 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, or you could watch it all in one gloriously informative off hour. 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.
