We:

• cleaned up MLA citation details for 1.5
• had an extended conversation about stereotypes: Where have we seen / heard them in the last month? > Shared out
• watched the 1.7 warm-up video: BuzzFeed Violet's Awkward Moments Only Asians Understand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrI64F2Xzxw)
• looked at the 1.7 writing prompt to be sure we can deconstruct it appropriately
• looked briefly at 1.8 > the poem by Hughes, as well as the meaning of an iconic American image that's a primary source

Homework:

1. finish 1.5 prompt
2. write 1.7 prompt with ALL MLA formatting details (header, name block, title, in-text citations, bibliography)
3. read and annotate 1.8's poem by Hughes
4. find, save, and cite an iconic American image (pp. 40-41)
