And Yet
Today in the early class we continued discussing Dyson starting with No Malcolm X in My History Text. We continued the query using They Say (67) and expanded the discourse to include Exercise 2 (77). Make sure you read the chapters. Tomorrow students will complete exercise 1 (75) in class and then in pairs practice both literal and free paraphrase using Dyson.
For each chapter, continue to make a list of new characters. Put a bio or brief description of the person's relationship to Tupac along with the page numbers where they are mentioned. Also, keep a vocabulary log. what is pedagogy (91)? How many of the books on Steinberg's shelf that Dyson pursed, do you know? How did Tupac's intellectual curiosity and analysis change Leila Steinberg? How does this tie into what Dyson says about "Tupac's absolute truths [and intensity]" (59)? Do you have any absolute truths? If so, what are they?
Homework will be to choose a theme or topic from the reading tomorrow, Oct. 2, due Oct. 3, to respond to in a cyber-freewrite. The task will be to use minimally 3 perspectives. Let's say the topic is "rap music."
I'd then like the student to compare his or her response to Dyson's using the outline on page 77. The freewrite will be minimally two paragraphs.
I didn't have the Byron Hurt/Dyson interview for you today. I will give it to students tomorrow. Wednesday, we will watch the film, Hip Hop Beyond Beats and Rhymes. I will give you the assignment sheet for the film on Wednesday.
Many students do not have their books. However, some students who do not have their books are doing the reading and bringing notes to class. For those students who do not have his or her book or notes for the reading (I will check), he or she cannot participate in the discussion groups or sit in the discussion groups.
Tomorrow, if we have time, we will continue with Hacker MLA Exercises. Don't forget to find the page numbers in Hacker, that correspond to the exercises. Bring to class tomorrow (11-11:50 class).
