ENG 1101

What were the key or seminal moments for you in Malcolm X’s education narrative? Did he change his ideology or think about what was important to know or learn about through his reading? Can you relate your own excitement, enthusiasm (or negatively, your dread) of working with a mentor or with learning a new subject to Malcolm X’s?  Throughout, try to give us concrete, specific examples from the readings or from your own life experiences. 

Context :What were the key or seminal moments for you in Malcolm X’s education narrative?

Observations: I see that you need to  read an article. I see that you need to know something about Malcolm X. I see that you need to give some examples.

Questions: What should I read? Where do I get information on the questions?  How do I know if something is important in the article?

Strategies: first read the article then you answer the questions.

Concept: You need to know how to read. You need to know if the information is correct in the article

Conclusion: One of the key moments in the Malcolm X reading is that first he went to the prison because of burglary. Another moment was that during prison he read many books about African American slavery where he became a different person after prison. The  change of  his ideology is after reading many books about African American slavery he changed his religion to  Islam because many people that were white were christians and he hated them due to white people doing bad things to African American people that many of them are islam. One examples from my life that i can relate to the new subject learning of Malcom X’s is when Malcom x was having fun or excitement in learning new words that he never new and I had a similar thing is when I was doing algebra first I did not really liked the topic but than I started to have fun solving the problem and this is similar to Malcolm X.
