III. The One-Pager Project
A one-pager is similar to a collage except that you must incorporate words.  All white-space must be used (an image or words should be everywhere). Here are the various components that must be featured on your page (must be at least 16in X 20in on the canvas paper that was provided to you in class):

• At least one line that impacted you from Maria Stewart and/or and/or another Black rhetor during slavery
• At least one line that impacted you from the Blueswomen (either from lyrics, Angela Davis’s text, the documentary, etc)
• At least one line that impacted you from the Combahee River Collective, Audre Lorde, Ida B. Wells, or Barbara Ransby
• At least one line that impacted you from the readings on contemporary Black feminists
• Include titles of texts and/or authors' names when you use quotes
• At least one, main symbol that connects/highlights your understandings/ideas/feelings of the texts we read
• A statement (or multiple statements) in your own words that explicitly discusses all of these texts you have chosen and their relation to BLACK FEMINIST RHETORICS
• Click here for the PDF of these requirements.  Each named rhetor should weblnk back to the course syllabus.
