Welcome to class today!
In my absence, please work on the following:
1. BOOK STUDY & RESPONSE
Go HERE to learn about some incredible contemporary books by black authors.
Choose at least two books that interest you based on their premise, descriptions given, and/or the characters or themes addressed.
Then, describe your own interest in reading a few of these books.
Finally, go on to try to read an excerpt from one of these works, and write a bit about the author's writing style.
**This response should go with your last three Monday mentor text responses to "World House" by MLK, Jr., "Dear Basketball" by Kobe Bryant, and "No Man is an Island" by John Donne. These 4 responses will be checked at your desk tomorrow in class.
2. Next, please take this time to conduct scholarly research and find at least two sources you would like to use to support and develop ideas in your quickwrite for the unit assessment. Tomorrow, we will be adding in these sources to the paper.
