Race and "Science": January 26, 2018

Focus: How did race factor into scientific research in the early 20th century, and how does Ellison turn it into a metaphor?

1. Warming up by gathering background on early 20th century science and socialism

Step 1: Briefly research your topic (Wikipedia works well for most topics).

Step 2: Find one line, paragraph or page from Chapters 10-13 in Invisible Man that takes on new meaning in light of your research.

Step 3: Enlighten the class on your newfound understanding by bringing it into Socratic today.

2. Enjoying a silent Socratic on Chapters 10-13 in Invisible Man

3. Wrapping up with questions, kudos, and epiphanies

HW:
1. For Monday: Read Chapters 14, 15, and 16 in Invisible Man and prepare a Socratic ticket.

2. New: Start considering what poem you'd like to take on for your poetry project/paper. It needs to be from a different time period than the poem you analyzed first semester. We will have our poem metacognitive on Thursday, Feb 8.

3. Look over your new Academic Vocabulary words before you go night-night.
