Ellison's Milieu: January 30, 2017

Focus: What other sources from Ellison' milieu might have influenced his writing?

1. Warming up with a Harlem Renaissance painting

2. Perusing Invisible Man stations for Chapters 14, 15, and 16 (the early Brotherhood chapters)


  • Station 1: Claude McKay's "America" (MMM approach)
  • Station 2: Booker T. Washington (MMM approach)
  • Station 3: The Crusader and the African Blood Brotherhood (skim for essential info, then make specific connections to characters and moments from Invisible Man)
  • Station 4: The scene where he smashes Mary's cast iron bank (follow directions on sheet)


3. Wrapping up with your thematic statements

HW:
1. Please read Chapter 17 by Wednesday (no ticket); read Chapters 18, 19, and 20 for Friday and prepare a ticket. Tomorrow will be a reading day.

2. Start looking for a poetry paper/project poem; it must be from a different time period than the one you selected last semester. We will be briefly recapping the paper/project tomorrow in class. You will need your poem by Thursday, Feb 8 for your metacognitive.

3. Keep perusing that Academic Vocabulary! Quiz tomorrow over Sets 1-3 (emphasis on Set 3).
