Do Now
Set a goal for what you will accomplish for your first writing portfolio entry today. You will have 40 minutes to work on it. If you do not finish, you can work on it during the weekend. Studio Time: 40 minutes Continue working on your first entry. This first post is very low stakes, I’m just looking for a reflection on what you’ve learned and your personal experiences. Feel free to approach the prompts in more creative or abstract ways, so long as you are writing in complete sentences and utilizing standard grammar structures. Remember: four paragraphs, document link shared on Padlet, and once you finish, please comment on your group members’ documents. If you have time, please find an image online that represents what you wrote and include it in your post. Here is a model for your post. Next: Accordion Books With the remaining time, please put together your accordion book for the semester. Materials will be set up in the back of the room. Your accordion book will be used while you read through the chapters to take note of your thoughts and observations on the book. Additionally, you will use your accordion books to respond to thinking routines, pre-reading strategies, and discussion questions as we go through the book. Feel free to decorate the cover however you’d like! Ticket Out What is one thing you accomplished today?

Course DescriptionGreat World Text is an advanced English and Social Studies course sponsored by the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Humanities. This year will consist of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, the landmark 1912 novel by James Weldon Johnson. Known only as the “Ex-Colored Man,” the protagonist in Johnson’s novel is forced to choose between celebrating his African American heritage or “passing” as an average white man in a post-Reconstruction America that is rapidly changing. The course will encounter themes of racial passing, multiracial families, and African-American music traditions.
