II. Overview of this Thursday's Assignment with Q&A:
PROJECT #1 (5 points)

• Click here for the project overview and point-spread. You also have hard copies at the front of the room by both entry doors.
• Please note: If you do this project with a partner, you should have at least 6 slides instead of just 5.​

III. RR#3: In-Class Article Jigsaw on Black Rhetoric
Jigsaw is a kind of puzzle where many people read different things and then everyone pieces together knowledge of the whole that way (rather than one person doing/learning everything alone). Find your article in the list on this google doc and give 2-3 sentences of information on it right underneath the title.  Make sure that you include your name.

• Click here for the google doc
• You can also always look here at your colleague's notes/annotation if you ever need a source for your Hype Presentation or Project #1
• URL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WECTG3JJ_NX7MXd144bJ72lqWXadOHta3TL8ZPtSaG8/edit?usp=sharing​​

IV. “The Ballot or the Bullet": Workshop#2 on Discourse Strategies & Black Rhetoric (BR)

1. Click here for today's PDF. Please keep your notes and this worksheet.  You will often be asked to perform a Black rhetorical analysis of a speech or performance.  Use this vocabulary/these definitions for that work. The point is for these definitions to become a natural part of how you talk about and hear Black language and rhetoric, not a quiz.
2. Click here for today's speech.  You can use this handout to follow along with the speech that we will be listening to today: Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet." We are listening to an excerpt. As a class, we will listen to the speech together. 
3. As you listen, take a few moments to make notes about the discourse strategies.  
4. Open Discussion: What examples of BR does Malcolm X use?  Why? Why was X so central to Black Nationalism?  90s Hip Hop?  Why were so many people talking about this speech in the last presidential election?​​

Click above for the entire speech.

11:50-23:10    AND    37:31-39:13
