Hello Writers!

Welcome to the class, everybody!

Next week’s readings and writing assignment are posted below, and also in “Assignments.”  Remember that Thursday is a “conversion” day and Monday classes are held. I’ll be editing and adding to the course syllabus and schedule I gave you on Wednesday, so check back after the weekend for updates.

For 9/4 print, read, and bring to class:  Mother-Tongue-by-Amy-Tan

Also for Weds, write a brief, informal response to “Mother Tongue.” How does your experience compare to hers? What words, sentences, or passages stand out for you? Quote from the text to support your points and/or to begin your response.  (~250-300 words) Print your response and also bring to class.

For Thursday, 9/5, print and read: If-Black-English-Isn’t-A-Language-Then-Tell-Me-What-Is-James-Baldwin
