Today we began our study of the Harlem Renaissance and eventually our reading of Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. Keep in mind that as we are beginning this unit, we are also finishing our research papers. Your next step is due on February 8th - the Synthesis SourcePack assignment. See the template document to complete that work.
Tonight you will need to read Chapter 1 from The Souls of Black Folk by WEB DuBois. There's a reading guide to help you prepare for our class on Thursday/Friday where we'll do some close reading and focus on key ideas in the text which will show throughout the unit. It's a good idea to start collecting vocabulary now, as you will have a set of cards due eventually.
I hope that you enjoyed today's class. I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts and questions on DuBois's text.

Today in class was our working day to kick off Week 20. This week our task is to complete Part 2 of our Museum Unit, which is the research on our choice museum. We'll be putting together a tourist information reference on the museum for someone who would visit. We'll be using resources and information from the Internet to complete this work, so citing our information and using proper format will be one of our goals this week.
Access the lesson on NoRedInk to review citations and get more practice. You'll be getting a grade on citations in the second assignment this week, so your knowledge will be assessed in the project. Be sure that work from last week is complete before moving on.
