Today in class reflect on the final section of the book: "Bodies and Beliefs." How is this title a play on the words: body of beliefs?

Keep adding to the character profile as you complete the book.

What does this section open up for you regarding Tupac's life. Does Dyson make good on his goals and objectives for the biography now that you have come to the end of the book?

Look back at "I Always Wanted. . ." (13-16)?

In a 3-paragraph essay respond to your assigned chapter (6-7 or 8). If you didn't get an assignment, choose any of the concluding chapters (6, 7 or 8). Also respond to a classmate's post from a chapter different from your own. Use a citation to respond to your comment-on-a-classmate's-post which challenges or expands the claims the writer makes.

I dismissed class early as the students hadn't read the section we were to discuss today. Everyone received attendance credit for being present in the class.

Monday we will watch a video looking at misogyny in American culture and by extension hip hop culture called "Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes". There will be a cyber-essay attached to the film. The film is 56 minutes, so there will not be any time for anything else, not even discussion, but we can talk about it on Tuesday (smile).

Other homework:
Continue in Pidd. Pronoun Case and so forth (smile). Pronoun Case is an Essay Exam, Essay Exam 1. We will write it in class, just bring the templates.
