Englishes – prof blain

Here’s the assignment for this part of the homework for Friday 9/11:

WATCH: Jamila Lyiscott “3 Ways to Speak English” (believe me, you’ll like this one!)

• Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn_mqVD_7XQ&feature=youtu.be
• Here is the transcript– you may want to read along as you listen: https://www.deepcenter.org/deepcenter/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/three-ways-to-speak-english-by-jamila-lyiscott.pdf

While you’re reading, have a piece of paper nearby– write down whatever words stick out to you. Doodle if you want. Just take whatever notes your mind wants to take!

 WRITE: A Discussion post  (at least 300 words) in which you write about your experience with various “Englishes.” In other words, how has your experience been similar to Lyiscott’s and/ or Tan’s?  Please be specific and use at least one quote from Tan or Lyiscott in your response.

• Title it “Englishes – your name” and use the Category Unit 1, tag is “Englishes.”
• Then go see what other people have said – share your stories (and the why’s) with each other.
