I. Discussion of Talkin That Talk Project

• Please come next week ready to share.  We will have a kind of writing workshop on this day.
• We need to decide as a group if we want to bring in hardcopies of writing... OR if we want to read/comment to one another digitally.  In the case of the latter, we have to all agree/be able to B.Y.O.D.
• Q&A of guidelines

II. Spoken Soul Presentations
PART ONE: We will hear individual presentations from these chapters: Chapter 2 (writers), Chapter 3 (preachers and pray-ers), Chapter 4 (comedians and actors), Chapter 5 (singers, toasters, and rappers), Chapter 9 (education), Chapter 10 (media), Chapter 11 (“Ebonics” humor), Chapter 12 (identity). 
PART TWO: Whats the relationship to African American Literacies (both Dr. E's book and the concept)? What do we learn here... and can we move beyond the binary of AAL as informal/SE as formal?

III. AAL Activity: “Until I Am Free, You Are Not Free Either”  (The handout and speech are available on dropbox)

Hype presentations resume next week.
