"Detroit...your name still carries with it the idea of a nation built on steel, muscle and sweat."
Eminem
You are reading a lot about Detroit. You saw the pictures and have read five poems that could easily relate to the city. Now you are writing an essay, with the help of a partner or two, about the connection between one of those poems and the pictorial essay. You'll be doing this same thing on your own in the near future. Be ready for it.
Some good book discussions. Several people came super prepared to discuss. William Martin, Emily Swaim, Jasmine Leininger, Ben Rose, Christian Pottschmidt, Alex Zarazee and Rachel Snyder are just a few who shared some high quality work with their groups and me today. Way to go! That's all the more reason why we all need to be prepared. No excuses allowed. When you aren't prepared you let yourself, your group and me down.
Keep working on that Acuity-At-Home material. You will be glad you did come October 12.
As I said in class, I won't be there tomorrow, but I will be in the building. You'll be expected to complete the rest of the pictorial/poem analysis and essay by the end of class tomorrow. Work hard, fast, efficiently, and well. I can't wait to see what you create.
