Your final writing assignment as a farewell to Black rhetorical study--- at least for now. Stay tuned for more details in class. You can write this as a letter to yourself, to a former or current teacher, to a child in your care (who you can have help you with the assignment), or to a sibling/parent/child/spouse/relative (who you can also have help you with the assignment). You can also write this as a story (fact or fiction or both), stream-of-consciousness, or epic poem (as in a long poem.) You might even do a combination of all of the above. If you have a peer who you can write collaboratively with, all the better! Write this together on a google doc, etc. and submit it as one assignment. |
You can watch any ONE film/show below for inspiration. The point here is to think about how these films execute and embody a Black rhetoric of the future and the fantastic!
