Project Check in One. Please post your responses to the below question/prompts by Monday, March 11 at 4:00 pm.
- Which text have you found most compelling and/or would like to examine further?
- Which concepts/theories (i.e. liminality, mastery of form, etc.) do you find most intriguing?
- What kind of performance and/or art are you most interested in? Why?
- List two research/discussion questions generated by the course materials and/or our class discussions.
- Provide two quotes from any text on the syllabus that in your opinion exemplify the relationship between art and artifice in the black expressive tradition.
- Provide two quotes from black-authored texts other than the ones on the syllabus that in your opinion exemplify the relationship between art and artifice in the black expressive tradition.
- Imagine you are an AP English teacher, and you want to teach your high school seniors about black performance. However your principal and the parents will not allow you to use any texts other than printed narratives (i.e. no videos, music clips, no guests, no field trips, etc.). Draft a lesson plan for how you might go about accomplishing your goal without the aid of anything but copies of the printed text.
