Today in class we read, well Edwin read the Preface in Evolution. We then spoke about the writing and the content. Students then critiqued each other's essays. Turn in the essay with the peer reviews. Include the IPS and an outline. Students can email me the cyber-assignments. Pull them together for tomorrow and we can talk about how I want this to look.
We spoke about parallel structure (x), alliteration, assonance, and connotation vs. denotation when looking at words like "intimacy" and the multiple meanings of the word: "spit."
We also spoke about the relationship between Jasmine, the author and her subject, Afeni and how that compared or contrasted with that of Dyson's relationship to his subject, Tupac in Holler.

1. Essay 1 is due along with peer reviews and associate essays read.
2. Include IPS and outlines

4. Bring reading logs to class as well. I will take hard copies. Don't give me your originals.
Evolution of a Revolutionary Book Notes Format
Keep notes along the theme: Nature vs. Nurture or Destiny vs. Choice. Make a column with Tupac at the top. For all the instances where something connected to his mother impacts his life label it Nature vs. Nurture or Destiny vs. Choice.
Have another sheet with Afeni's name at the top with similar columns. Bring to class for discussions. Look in your atlas to find where Afeni was born and where the family lives now.
Make another list of key characters in her life and key and events where fate or choice were involved.
Homework is to read up to page 68. Students need to be thinking about what book they'd like to read for their book report essay. The author should be 30 or younger and live in the SF Bay Area. I will consider fiction, although I suggest finding a book written about or by your social entrepreneur.
