After our quiz on The Piano Lesson (period 7), we will spend a little time in small groups discussing and evaluating the play. For those students who finish their test early please return to the lab and complete the following research:
Who is Ntozake Shange?
Who is Tyler Perry?
Before we pick up "For Colored Girls..." from the library, please gather in groups of 4-5. Discuss the questions on the 1/2 sheet of paper for this play. You will have 15-20 minutes to discuss. Please focus on the questions/topics for your discussion--try not to digress...
Today we are going to begin reading Ntozake Shange's choreo-poem and masterpiece For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf. Please return from the library to room 238. If you would like to read today for participation credit, please select one of the characters on the index cards provided.
HOMEWORK: Write a poem: your own topic, style, and you choose the length. Use your own chosen theme and message. Write your draft in your journal (or a separate sheet of paper) and/or type it up to hand in. Poem drafts are due next class. Bring your books back with you next class. We will complete our reading of the play in class.
