Thursday in the English 1A the intention was to share our essays and get feedback, instead Howard and Al shared poetry and we talked about their work within the context of representations of manhood in hip hop through Byron Hurt's lens: misogyny, homophobia, media and violence. Howard had a performance later that evening in Oakland; he told us he'd bring in work to share and let us know about future events we might want to attend.

For our freewrite we listened to Tupac's "Changes," and reflected on the lyrics from the perspective of Tupac as he might respond today to Byron Hurt after watching Hurt's film. I have provided a link to the lyrics here.

The essay on masculinity as reflected in hip hop culture through the lens of misogyny, homophobia, violence, or media, is due by Sunday, Sept. 23, 12 noon. Send it to me at professorwandasposse@gmail.com. Please include your Initial Planning Sheet. Paste and attach it. Include the course title and meeting time.

I will be hosting a study session on Monday mornings 9:10 to 10:50 beginning Sept. 24. Bring your questions.

We are up to Chapter 3 in Holler. Continue with your logs, both vocabulary and analysis of the writing. We will be discussing the text more this coming week.

The show at Slims was cancelled, so there goes our field trip. Remember I asked about the group, "Dead Presidents"(sp)? Well, on Hard Knock Radio, I heard yesterday that they will be performing on Sept. 30 at the Mezzanine in San Francisco. No, this is not a recommendation or a new field trip notice, although I do like the group's writing. (I don't like the venue.)

There is a program on HBO early next week on the history of hip hop. If anyone watches it and writes about it, you can get extra credit. Also, if you can tape it for the class, please do so and I can reimburse you the tape or DVD or CD.
