Redacting: November 15, 2018

Focus: How can we use poetry to better understand prose (and vice versa)?

1. Warming up by thinking about your poetry project / paper

2. Browsing for your poem

3. Exploring the myth of the happy slave
  • What stands out to you in each image?
  • What specific myth of slavery does each image propagate, and for what purpose?
  • For each slide, find one line from Beloved that undoes the myth.

4. Discovering the method and purpose of the redaction poem (and looking at two of your examples)

  • Using the redaction poem to understand a slave narrative
  • Trying out a redaction poem on a page from Chapters 1-4 of Beloved

3. Sharing and discussing your redaction poems in a gallery walk
  • What do the redaction poems help you understand better or differently?

HW:
1. For TOMORROW: Read through Chapter 7 and prepare your ticket for tomorrow's first Beloved Socratic; if you will be absent tomorrow, please submit your ticket when you return from break.

To clarify: You should prepare a Socratic ticket each Monday and Friday (just as with East of Eden). However, it only needs to printed and submitted once a week.

2. For MONDAY AFTER BREAK: Read through Chapter 12 and prepare your Socratic ticket.

3. For TUESDAY AFTER BREAK: Solidify your project/paper poem and bring it to class for your metacognitive.
