Today we began a new Language and Race/James Baldwin unit. You also got new seats.
We began by doing a close reading of the old and new mission statements of the US Citizen and Immigration Services Department. If you were absent, please read and annotate for what you find interesting, strange or revealing. Tape the statement into your notes/comp book/spiral and sum up your findings in a few sentences. Then we looked at foundational definitions of race and racism. If you were absent, please read the handout shared with you and hang onto it for reference. Finally we worked in groups on a Timeline project. You will be taking notes on the work of other groups when you return if you were absent today. HW: Finish Timelines. Either print in color or share with me to print. Also print out paragraph. Due Wednesday. Due Friday: draft of WT 1 for peer editing. Hard copy due in class. Final draft will be due to turnitin.com the following WEDNESDAY.
