Beware of the Ides Of March
“The fault dear Brutus is Not In Our Stars But In Ourselves ” ― Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)
Spring is almost hear. The winds and the seasons will change. We have to finish the school year strong.
We are in the middle of the 3 quarter. Students should continue to track your dashboard to determine if you are being productive in class. Students should also be doing 3-5 hours of work outside of class. If you are not doing work outside of class, you are not trying to get better at reading, writing and making sense of the world.
We will start working on our own Chroeopoems based on Unit 4 Themes of #MeToo Feminism, Womynism , Gender Equality , Equal Work For Equal Pay, Wage Gap, etc
Here is what's been going on and what's coming up.
Unit 4: #MeToo (Final Narrative) Due March 15
Essential Question: How has the historical conditions of African-American women shape their unique struggle for gender and racial equality?
Using historical information and issues that emerged out of reading “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf, “ by Ntozake Shange, you will create an original choreopoem.

Essential Question: Is mass incarceration in the United States a human rights violation against African-Americans?
“Our problem is not an American problem, it’s a human problem. It’s not a Negro problem - it’s a problem of humanity. It’s not a problem of civil rights, but a problem of human rights.” (Malcolm X; Cairo, Egypt; July 1964).
