Blues Ain't No Mockinbird

Thursday 29 September 2016 for Periods 5 & 6 and Friday 30 September 2016 for Periods 1, 2, & 7

After a devotional reading of a text from Proverbs and prayer, students took a quiz over Toni Cade Bambara's "Blues Ain't No Mockinbird."

Students then spent fifteen minutes in practice time on the Membean vocabulary site.

The class then discussed Bambara's story briefly in light of the current Black Lives Matter social movement and in literary terms.

Homework: Read Leslie Marmon Silko's "The Man to Send Rain Clouds."
