Is it Homophobic, Violent, Misogynistic

Today we watched most of the film: Hip Hop Beyond Beats and Rhymes directed by Byron Hurt. Complete the film at home. Watch it on line. Complete the freewrite. Post where assigned.

On the essay due for Monday, don't write it. Finish reading the essay interview. Annotate it. If you need to summarize its key points or outline it. Look up all the words you do not know and research all references you do not know or understand. Go to the COA library and get help from the reference librarians or Writing Center Staff to help you.

Come to class Monday with a thesis and an idea of what you'd like to talk about in the essay: misogyny, violence, homophobia, or media. Find references to support your claim. Bring in copies of the lyrics and citations pulled from Dyson's Holler and the interview and the film.

Bring in the sources in MLA, so we can review it together.

Read "Do We Hate Our Women" in Holler. We will probably not talk about it Tuesday as you will be writing. If anything is not clear, call me.

Today in the 11 AM class we ended up in A-232 after all so that students could locate the film and start watching if they had ear phones or complete their reading.

I gave students a preliminary outline:
