1. Read and Annotate “Tell ‘Em All to Come Get Me” on Perusall.com
  2. Read and Annotate “Who You Callin’ Bitch?” on Perusall.com

Directions for both are on Perusall!

3.Come to Thursday’s class with an idea of the word or phrase you will want to write about for Unit One.  Remember that you want to write about a word that is important and specific to your discourse community, an “insider” word– not something generic like “love,” or “family.”  You’ll notice that the word “alright” (which Abdurraqib writes about) is used by a lot of groups, but the WAY people use it includes them in a certain group!

For more information, see the assignment sheet for Unit One under “Major Assignments” (It’s also linked here!)
