Malcolm X

 We are going to continue to read and analyze "The Ballot or the Bullet" today. This week we will be practicing an AP MC - timed text - and a rhetorical analysis question test. 

Wednesday

 Tomorrow, we are going to do a synthesis essay. We'll look quickly at the synthesis rubric. Technically, you need 55 minutes to write a timed synthesis essay, so you might want to get her a few minutes early to start.

Today, I would like to discuss your reading last night, and to look at one last essay in this book. On Friday we will look at Malcolm X. 

Tuesday

 Today I want to discuss the essay we read yesterday and then get into another essay in the book called, "Blame it on the Blues" on page 91.

Monday

 This week we are going to look at Angela Davis, Malcolm X, and return to the Synthesis Essay. Next week I will be giving you a series of in-class essay and a MC test. For the most part these are practice, but I do want to see how you are doing with them before we start next semester.

Next semester we will be writing the "MODES" project and reading Malcolm X. We will also be returning to looking at many shorter essays. 

Wednesday

 Today you have time to finish your essay (PLEASE FINISH BY TOMORROW), finish make up work, and/or work on the following assignments:

FOR Thursday:

If you are finished with your essay please read "Working for a Living: The Codes for Work and Money" on page 482

When you finish write a short paragraph about the following: Write  about either work or money (or the link between them). Consider the values you ascribe to work and/or money. You may wish to consider what Rapaille, the author, says about them and whether you wish to endorse, qualify, or contest his ideas.

 

FOR Friday:

Read "What Secrets Tell" on page 543 and answer the question: 

1) How many types of secrets does Sante identify? What other kinds of secrets can you think of besides those Sante mentions? Do you agree with the reasons Sante cites for the breakdown of secrecy? Why or why not? 

 

Essays

 Please work on your essays, and ONLY your essays today. I have already put in grades for dialectical journals and will not be changing them. We need to move forward and the essay is your next important grade.
