Cheadle was in San Francisco earlier this year to promote the book and engage his audience in a discussion on what we are doing individually and as a nation, to stop the genocide, and what we are capable of doing when we form coalitions.

Portfolios and Presentations
Today the students who attended class and presented are to be commended for their efforts. I was pleased with the presentations, especially those presented when the class dispersed after 11: Harizon and Ellis. Their research essays were outstanding! Ellis presented his on chemical engineer and entrepreneur, Christine Galitsky, whose work in water conservation in wineries and the creation of a more efficient cooking system in Dafur where the refugees cut down trees for firewood seemed so different, yet are connected philosophically by the scientist's aim to both help humanity while conserving nature. In the Dafur instance, the more efficient pot, keeps the women and girls whose job it is to gather twigs safe from marauding gangs who kidnap and rape the girls when they wonder too far from camp.
He stayed within the scope of the assignment, as did many others like Johnny, whose KIVA, is located in San Francisco (by the way, he made a really nice poster I have hung in L-235) and Jenni's organization, Girls Inc., which is located in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Ellis' SE studied at UC Berkeley and before she left the country on business, he reached her and the two exchanged emails where she answered pertinent questions related to Ellis' research. (he shared one of them with us.) Jenni and Harizon were two others who actually contacted the entrepreneur or someone connected to the project, organization, or campaign. These are bonus points folks, 'cause a part of the assignment was making the personal connection.
Another aspect of Ellis' presentation I enjoyed was his ease and relaxed manner. He was comfortable with the technology, as was Tristan earlier today when he shared his presentation on Al Gore. Jenni was comfortable, but hers wasn't a PowerPoint presentation, more a visual component of the presentation. The paper in Jenni's hand (the essay) got in the way of the presentation, but the distraction was offset by the leaflets she had from the organization which she passed around. It was also offset by Jenni's command of the subject.
I also liked Ellis' sharing with the class why he chose his topic. He and Galitsky both are concerned about the war in Dafur and its impact on the people. When he was a student at Encinal High School Ellis told us that the students in a club he belonged to hosted a meal of beans and rice in a simulated refugee camp to raise money to send to a camp there to feed the hungry. Jenni also shared how she came to find her topic. I thought this was one of the more interesting aspects of the presentation.
This is always an important part of the presentation: why you care. We know you, so if you care about an issue or a cause, we are apt to consider it becasue you think it is worthy of consideration. So never leave yourself out of the equation. You are a part of the argument whether you insert yourself or not, so why not tell us how you are connected to the topic, espcially in this case where the assignment asked for this type of interpersonal connection.
Harizon also had a connection to his subject. His father was actually a cabinet member in the ousted government--a government that led to the imprisonment and torture of Raila Odinga prior to his coming into government office. He is also a member of teh same ethnic group. However, tribalism is something Odinga is working to eradicate in government.
Harizon's knowledge of the topic which included a history of Kenya post-colonial nation up to now was understandable, just because Harizon, like Ellis, and Jenni, Dale, Mabel, Johnny, showed in earlier presentations today-- knew their topics. One of the more exciting aspects of Harizon's presentation was his link to the Daily Nation, the Kenyan newspaper, where we could see clips of the presidential candidates, especially Odinga and Mr. Kibaki, the current president. He also showed us photos of the largest slum in the world, Kibera, a part of Odinga's province, a place he lives in now despite his wealth and ability to reside elsewhere. Harizon said the elections take place Dec. 27.
I enjoyed Mabel's presentation on Judith Jamison, Alvin Ailey Dance Company. I didn't remember that she was a dancer either. How did I forget this detail?
I also loved seeing how well Dale revised his essay on Jay-Z. It was much clearer than the earlier version. Johnny was great to have in the audience because he explained on the whole Cristol beverage controversy, which sounded similar to the controversy surround Tommie Hilfiger when Hilfiger said something derogatory about the black consumers who buy his product (no you will not see me wearing anything with his logo on it and I don't understand how Russell Simmons can support him, but perhaps green is a stronger bond than....)
I have to say though that Semhar's play was really fun. She had a role for all of us: Harizon, Carroll, and Ellis, plus herself. It was the section of the book where Afeni reluctantly cares for his father, who is recovering from a stab wound.
Jenni gets an A for her playwrighting skills, as does Tristan. Tristan was also a great actor. Johnny was a great cast member, once again. Mabel was also a great actress and writer. She and Jenni should try out for a role.
Dale and Betty were also great. Dale even had props and I think he and Betty rehearsed. All the plays which I have seen so far get an A. This is equal to an essay people.
I will post photos later on when I get home and transfer them from my camera.
I hope everyone has a great holiday and I look forward to seeing you around on campus. Please stay in touch and let me know if I can write recommendation letters for you or help you in any capacity. I'm looking at Hip Hop as a global movement for my theme for the Spring. Does anyone have any ideas about books, films, artists and CDs? I am using the Jeff Chang book: Can't Stop, Won't Stop, but that's all I am certain of. (Oh, Tristan and Ellis, I finished all the Harry Potter books this weekend. I read Book 7 Sunday, finished Book 6 Saturday.)
If you needed an extension, the portfolios are due by 12 noon Friday, Dec. 21 in L-235-6. I have a final from 8-10 a.m. 12/21 in the Writing Center L-235).
I have posted a sample portfolio in the camment section of this post.

WORKSHOP MONDAY, DEC. 17
Don't forget, I'll be around Monday, Dec. 17 from 10-2 p.m. helping students with their portfolios and other writing projects for the course. Come by with your work and let's tackle it together :-)
Last Day of Instruction
Today we began developing the scripts for the short scenes students will perform next week. The themes are taken from Evolution of a Revolutionary. Students worked alone and in pairs. Students who worked together will receive the same grade for the writing. The scene is equal to an essay. Please type it and include a copy in the portfolio. We used the Elephant Man as a model for writing. Please send me any essays I haven't read yet, such as the review. I'd like to limit the essays I read for the first time Tuesday, December 18. If you need the projector, plan to present your research paper between 8-9. We will retire to L-235 afterwards for the improvazational theatre.
I handed out portfolio checklists. Here is an electronic version. Please fill out with grades where possible and turn in a paper copy to me with the portfolio. If you are behind, look at the comment section of this post for an alternative assigment. Students who choose this option can earn a C grade. OH, PLEASE PLAN TO SHOW UP AT THE FINAL AND PRESENT YOUR PAPER. IT WILL HELP YOUR GRADE.
For everyone else, I have edited the narrative post. Look at it again.

Portfolio
The portfolio narratives (These are essays)
1. The narrative will look at the 18 weeks, the themes we looked at this semester, the poetics of hip hop and Tupac Shakur. Talk about what you've learned and discovered this semester about writing and yourself, college and life, which have transformed or changed you.
What have you learned about yourself this semester? What have you learned about the discipline you are studying here: reading and writing that you plan to carry forth into your lifelong pursuit of learning?
Please also comment on the texts and whether or not they were helpful in this process. You can also talk about the instruction, culture of the class and the teacher.
2. The second part of the narrative looks at the writing process and what you have been learning about yourself as a writer. Take two essays and talk about the planning, research and revision strategies you used. It helps to choose an early paper and compare to a later paper. Often you can more easily see the differences in your writing and a better example of mastery of certain concepts. Also discuss skills you need to improve and how you plan to address that.
Besides the two essays, I also want you to include the midterm essay and research essay. We will work on the narratives together next week, Monday, Dec. 10, in the Writing Lab. We will meet in the smaller lab, L-235.
You have a copy of the assigned essays this semester. The check-list is the same with grades posted next to the assignment. We will look at this the last day of class. Our final for the class is Tuesday, Dec.18, 8-10 a.m. We will meet in the Writing Center, L-235. If you need technology, let me know next week.
Extra credit essay. The extra credit essay assignment will be posted to the blog by next week so you can read the prompt in advance. The essay will be in response to a topic taken from Evolution of a Revolutionary. You will have 50 minutes to write the essay Thursday, Dec. 13. This essay can replace the Hip Hop essay if the grade is higher or just serve as more practice. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE EXAM.
We will finish reading The Elephant Man tomorrow and start writing our skits for the later performance. It should be fun.
Your portfolios are due the day of the final, 12/18. They are to be digitized. No exceptions. The only paper copies are the freewrites. Do not give me your originals. I can make copies, if you can’t. Oh, there are no regular class meetings after next week. You come to class only on the date of the final.
I will give you an updated essay assignment check-list. Look for it later this week.
EDITS OR ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE COURSE DEC. 13, 2007
Essay 2 has students look at the writing process and discuss their own writing process: the topics chosen, the information used, revision strategies, writing as a process. This should include a definition of the difference between editing and revising and a value statement on the place for both in composition.
I am really interested in discourse about audience and how that shapes or determines how the writer approaches her topic.
I am also interested in discussion of the revision process, and whether or not seeing writing as a work in progress or a draft, liberates or stagnates the creative process. (Students are to use examples from their writing to illustrate these points.)
I'd also like students to think about and give at three specific ways how they have grown as writers and thinkers this semester. Each essay should be minimally 1-2 pages (250-500 words).
Grade

Elephant Man
Today in class we read Bernard Pomerance's Elephant Man. We ended at Scene 15 "Ingratitude." It was quite fun with students doubling up and tripling up as members of the cast. The homework is to write a response to the play so far. John Merrick (Elephant Man) reminds me of Tupac Shakur and societies attempt to cast him in the role of other and almost succeeding. Post your essay response to the play here. If you need a copy of the play I have left one in the bin outside my office for you to review.
We will complete the play Thursday and work on the drafts for the scenes taken from Evolution of a Revolutionary to be performed next Tuesday. At this point all the research essays should be in. If they are not in, I presume we have had a conversation.
Oh, we are going to dinner next week at Delancey Street Restaurant in San Francisco. Students let me know tentatively those who can make it. If you like we can go to breakfast during our scheduled final somewhere in Alameda or Oakland if that would be preferable. Let me know. Some students have not been showing up. Are you okay?
The portfolio requirements will be given out Thursday in class, and I will show students a portfolio from last semester so you can have a sense of what's required.
