Professor Sabir's Posse

We had a productive class today, not that other meetings haven't been productive but a lot was accomplished and it felt as though concepts previously addressed clicked. We read the essay from Reading to Write on literacy. It was a homework assignment only three students completed. Many students shared their early life experiences learning to read. We then used the previewing and pre-reading strategies on Chapter 7 in Holler If You Hear Me. Homework is to read the chapter, then outline it using the outlining and clustering models in Reading to Write. Other homework is to finish the second chapter (pp. 17-32), and answer or respond to all the prompts. The freewrite will be answering one of the questions at the end of the selection. There are extra copies of the handout in the bin outside my office.

Students were also instructed to pre-view any chapters they haven't read up to Chapter 7. Those students are still responsible for the content.

Note: Tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Laney College Forum, Minister Farakhan will be speaking in a braodcast hosted by Mosque 26B, on the anniversary of the Day of Attonement. Tickets are $15.
