Log
We begun the class with the poem "Making a Fist" by Naomi Nye.
The assignment for the index card was to write about the community you missed the most and why.
Kavin read last classes report via Rap and I was therefore also suggested to prepare one for my presentation of the report
The main goal was to have everybody's websites done by today with the blogs posted. It must be completed by next Monday and up to date in order to not receive a late penalty.
Next week will also be student conferences and that can be signed up for on Mat's website.
After discussing future blogs and assignments we began a 7 minute writing session with the prompts :
"Where do you feel like you're most heard"
"Where do you feel the most spoken too?"
After we finished writing, we used the "Peeling the Onion" method to discuss Project 1 with the class and any issues we may have with it.
The main message of moral derived from these discussions was to focus on a particular community that you are personally involved in rather than trying to explain a broad, entire community. This is important to limit because of the reduced word count and time to discuss.
A discussion that stuck out was about Kavin's topic regarding the black community and hip-hop/ rap and how they are connected and how the represent each other. Problems with this was that it proposed too many assumptions and also was too broad as it focused on the entire community even though he want specifically related to it through personal experience
Rap:
Mat asked me to rap so I couldn't resist
We began reading the poem named "Making a Fist"
It was written by Mrs.Naomi Nye
We then wrote about the community we missed and why
I know it's been a week and you're minds behind
But I'm hoping this log will jog your mind
