English 201 8-9
Today in class we looked at the Censorship essay questions which looked at the type of claim these essays were--claims of policy, and the essay content. We spent a lot of time looking at 'qualification" statements or "concessions" and how such consideration can win a skeptical audience over to your side, especially with volatile subjects like parental rights and rap music.
We continued our conversation about social entrepreneur. I encourage students to look at art as social change and find someone who is a change agent in the community. I suggested students look at East Side Arts Alliance as a potential place for artists to profile, if not the founders of the organization. Another organization is The Center for Art and Public Life and Art Esteem. I also suggested the PBS Local Heroes database to look for potential candidates.
We are meeting in the lab Monday, November 5. Homework is to figure out who you might want to write about--two potential sources is good. The list of sources. Read Hacker, pp. 371-400. We've already looked at pp. 401-423.
Continue reading Evolution of a Revolutionary. Also, continue watching the Focus World profiles of SE and write your responses on the blog. If you are behind on the cyber-activities, you have until November 15 to post it.
We will do the website evaluation activity Monday morning. The freewrite will be from A Rose Grew from Concrete. Bring all of your books to each class meeting.
