Watch the following videos. While you do so, take notes in your blue book. After a comment is said that resonates with you, pause the video, write the note down in your book and then write down your reactions. Either do it right afterwards or once the video is finished.

Let the last thing you do before class be listening to Queen Latifah's jam, "UNITY"

I-Am-Joaquin
After you read this, I want you to listen to "Juicy" by Notorious BIG and read his lyrics as well. Then set a timer for 15 minutes and write everything these two pieces make you think about. Put it right into your blue book-- this is free writing. It can be rough. It can be a list. It can be word vomit; just get it all out. Then, read the next essay. Let that be the last thing you do academically before class! We're going to write about it creatively when you come in, and I can't wait to see what you craft and create. To help you write in class, please bring a representation of your beginning and where you came from-- food, a photograph, a drawing, a map... anything.
Then the last thing you read is:
Beverley Tatum's "Who Am I"
(This should really leave you inspired and ready to draft tomorrow in lab)

- After having watched these two videos and taken casual notes in your bluebook, read the following article. It is an arduous read, both long and challenging to understand. Please write down questions as you read and diction that is intimidating, so that we can properly explore it in class. This is both a reading class and a writing class, and I can't make you a better reader if you don't let me see HOW you read.
- After you're finished, answer one of the three following questions in your bluebook (this is a 3 section bluebook assignment):
- What is the author's primary argument? Do you agree with it? Why or why not?
- How does this article relate to other articles we've read or other current events you're aware of? Why is this article significant?
- What does this article make you want to discuss in class tomorrow?
