I am weaving together all kinds of great ideas and paired texts for my American Lit students. Yes, I am certain I am the only one of the four teachers who teach AmLit in my building using Kendrick Lamar as a mentor text.
First, thank you to @heymrsbond for some starting questions
- Imagery
- Symbolism
- Message
Constructive criticism lens
- Corporate greed
- Exploitation of Black music
- Call to action
The students were given a shared Google Doc, in groups of 3-4. They watched the video and responded: NLU with names redacted
The next phase when we return from midwinter break (it’s a Washington State thing, and I love it) is to assemble a set of imagery, allusions, and paired texts and do an annotated illustrated bibliography. Stay tuned!
