Anna+Margaret, malia, & Joce present this week!

april 5
Welcome to week twelve!

I. Announcements​​
  • The rest of the semester focuses on RR 8-11, Project #3, Project #4, and the last 5-6 weeks of classroom activities.
  • There are no more slots left on the presentation schedule.  If you miss your day, you forfeit the grade for this project.​​​​
II.  Possibilities for Extra Credit at the End of the Semester
  • Many of you do VERY THOROUGH reading of the assignment where you get into every nook & cranny of the text.  Then you LIGHT up the RR and write more than 500 words.  I always give extra credit for that.
  • After next week (when we will reach more than 15 CAs), the CAs will count as extra credit.
  • There will be opportunities for extra credit on Project #4.
  • There will be opportunities for extra credit on the final exam project (some of you may have enough points by then that you don't need to even do it).

IV. The Black Queer Feminist Foundation of the Black Lives Matter Movement 
What Does Queer Mean? (13:55-19:22)
What do Cullors's words mean to you?  What do Garza's words mean to you?   How might these activists be the "students" of Cathy Cohen and/or Bayard Rustin and/or Audre Lorde? 
​How would you describe this as Black Queer Rhetoric?
What connections do you see and hear here?
