The Red Ribbon: December 7, 2018

Focus: Why does Stamp Paid carry a red ribbon?

1. Warming up by watching "Uprooted" (in response to your questions about Stamp Paid and the red ribbon)

• What does this video make you wonder?

• What does it help you understand about the Reconstruction Era (post-slavery America) that you didn't understand before?

• What does it help you understand about Beloved and/or Morrison's purpose in writing it? 

2. Enjoying a Socratic seminar on Beloved, Part 2

3. Wrapping up with epiphanies, questions, and kudos

HW:

1. MONDAY will be your final in-class work (or reading) day.

2. For FRIDAY: Finish Beloved and create your final reading ticket for our final Socratic (Monday people will be turning theirs in).

3. ONGOING: Work on your papers and projects.

PROJECT PEOPLE: Please print me a clean copy of your poem by Monday, Dec 10.

Heads-up! December 12-13: Poetry papers and project are due. Please not that you will NOT be able to revise these because you won't get them back until your final.
