Tuesday we watched a film about Grace Paley www.gracepaleythefilm.com If you missed the film you can still complete the assignment. You'll just have to do a bit more reading about the writer and her work.
Homework is to visit the film website. Read about the film and the director. Respond to the following question in 50 words (2 typed pages). also bring in a Paley short story or a poem or two, maybe three.
Essay assignment:
Who is/was Grace Paley? How did she integrate writing and activism: the writer as social change agent? Use examples from the film and from one scholarly article about the writer. Use the COA library database. Sot there are three sources: Grace Paley: Collected Shorts, directed by Lilly Rivlin; one scholarly article, and your Paley poem or story.
Make sure your MLA is perfect, or as perfect as you can make it. Bring in Reed and Jones to class Thursday. We meet in A-232.
The free styling pertains to the improvisational nature of our classes and assignments. I plan one lesson and end up pulling a rabbit out of my backpack--Grace Paley.
I hope everyone will have their books and be up to speed by next Tuesday. The assignment given last week still stands, and it is still due. We'll read a little Reed in the morning.
