Presentation transcript:

No warm-up today. Instead, get out a piece of paper for notes and title them Black Boy.

 Bring your silent reading book tomorrow!  Period 5: Make sure the paragraph from Friday is complete (homework for tonight).  I need to speak with…  Period 5: Blanca and Jessie B.  Period 6: Dahmajae, Stephanie S., Carlos, Madelin  Period 6: Turn in  Homework from Friday (paragraph)  And of Clay Are We Created packet

 Literary Response and Analysis 3.12: Analyze the way in which a work of literature is related to the themes and issues of its historical period. (Historical approach)

(Do not take notes on this slide) WARNING:  What you see next may make you angry.  History is often an ugly thing.  However, in looking at the past, we are better able to understand the present and escape mistakes, thus making us able to build better futures.

 Richard Wright was born in 1908 in Mississippi, and died in 1960 in France.  What do you know about the time period that Wright lived, that might be mentioned in his book?  1920’s  1930’s  1940’s  1950’s

 One of Wright’s most successful works, Black Boy, was written in  Black Boy is an autobiography of Wright’s early life and early adulthood.  autobiography = a story about one’s own life.  auto (self) + bio (life) + graph (write)  Wright grew up in the “Jim Crow” South.  It was originally titled American Hunger. What does this title suggest about the book? What  might the two titles suggest about the book?

 : The Civil War takes place.  1895: Booker T. Washington preaches that African Americans should focus on improving economic class status instead of achieving social equality.  1896: Plessy v. Ferguson : A Supreme Court case rules that “separate but equal” is okay.  Question: Why might this be an important case for this book… written 47 years later?  What major value might this be challenging?

 1900: 90% of 8.8 million blacks live in the South.  1903: A black real estate broker starts promoting Harlem as an African-American community in New York City, beginning a flood of migration.  Why do you think so many people wanted to move there?  1905: W.E.B. Du Bois, the first black man to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard joins with other intellectual leaders to work for racial equality.

 1908: Richard Wright is born into a poor sharecropper family on a cotton plantation in Mississippi.  1909: The N.A.A.C.P. (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is founded, focusing on legal abuses.

 1915: Ku Klux Klan is revived.  They preach hate against Blacks, Jews, Catholics, and foreigners.  The Klan gains control of governments of Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon and Indiana.

 1917: U.S. enters World War I; more than 200,000 black soldiers serve.  At war, blacks are treated much better in Europe. (Britain abolished slavery 40 years before the U.S.)  Some Blacks choose to stay in Europe; others come back to U.S. after experiencing better treatment.  They want to know why serving their country doesn’t earn equal treatment.  1917: War and cotton crop failures start a “Great Migration” of blacks to the urban North.  Richard’s family is affected by this.

 As mentioned on the rubric, I graded on the following areas:  Tone (were you focused on proving one point?)  Organization (did you follow the essay format?)  Development (did you give enough textual evidence, or quotes, from the book to support your statements?)  Prompt (did you answer what you were asked to answer on the prompt?)  Writing (was your style of writing good?)  includes sentences, vocabulary, sense of audience, and editing skills

 Here’s what MOST people did well on:  Organization  Most people did a good job of following the essay format that I gave.  Development  Most people gave quotes that had good diction, detail and imagery  Writing  Decent writing with good words, sentences structures, editing, etc.

 Here’s what MOST people did NOT do well on:  Tone (most people did not stick to proving ONE main tone in their essay)  After each quote, explain HOW that quote proves the TONE mentioned in your thesis sentence)  Prompt (most people were not clear in explaining HOW the quotes of diction, detail and imagery PROVED the tone)

 HOWEVER, some people DID do these things well! Let’s look at an essay that did these things well.
