Welcome to Nicole's RR#3 "which is a paper collage on a 18x6 inch stretched canvas frame. The images were pulled from various magazines from the last few years, including Oprah's magazine as well as Cosmopolitan. The imagery both references Afrofuturism and is inherently anachronistic, as the antique clock is layered between images of 'present' and 'future' times. The women at the bottom is lounging in what might be interpreted as a past-present-future act of rest as resistance (@thenapministry). In almost a dream-like form, the women above her stands resilient, confident, facing forward. Her reflection is seen looking either backward or at the viewer in the shattered glass above her shoulder." |

II. Presentation By Hanna
V. Overview of Final Project
VI. Literature circles
One other person in the room has read your text. Today you and your partner will form a literature circle. There are two roles since there are two of you. Like all good lit circles, we will have roles. Please know that these are TOTALLY made up.
The Spoiler
You are going to spoil this book for the whole class. You are going to tell ALL the details! Only two people have read this book so you have to really let the class see and feel the whole text... but you only have 3 minutes to do this. You also need to combine you and your partners letters to characters in the book. Read segments aloud for us. |
The Amplifier
Your job requires you to do some real performing. You are going to read 2 pages from your book out loud to the class. Practice these two pages beforehand. You should not come to us acting brand-new to this text. After your dramatic reading, explain to the class how and why this section of the book is significant to the whole project. |
