<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Regarding the requirements for the presentations--the objective of the assignment is to present the work in such a way as to heighten the class’s interest in learning more about the author or the topic presented in the text. I mentioned the guidelines in class numerous times, and I posted them on the course blog. Several of you lost 2 points of credit for not completing the assignment as instructed. Here are the instructions again:</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 103%; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 103%;">Please provide a one-page handout containing the title of the speech and its author, along with one or two passages which exemplify the major theme of the piece. This handout should include at least 3 educational/scholarly links to more information about the author (such as an online bibliography, collected works, etc.).</span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 103%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 103%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 103%;">You must provide a brief overview of the piece, as well as some analysis as to why you think the work is of continuing literary/historic value.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
If you send it to me in advance (<b>by 12:00 NOON the day of your presentation</b>), I will make copies for the class so that you don't have to spend money on copies. Do NOT print out or send the speech--all the students in the class have access to the original speech online. Just send the one-page handout as a Word Document.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <br />
<br />
If you choose NOT to provide the handout, you will automatically lose 2 points, so you will only be eligible to earn up to 8 of the 10 points--the choice is yours.</span><br />

What follows are two scenes from the film adaptations of novelist Fannie Hurst's <i><b>Imitation of Life (clip misspells "imitation").</b></i> The first version, made in 1934, stars African American performers Louise Beavers (Delilah) and Fredi Washington (Peola) as the mother and daughter, respectively. The second adaptation, filmed in 1959, features Juanita Moore (Delilah) as the long-suffering mother, and Susan Kohner (Sarah Jane) as her daughter. Interestingly, Susan Kohner is a white actress passing as a black woman passing as a white woman in this version.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>DUE IN-CLASS on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2010</strong> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">No late essays or make-ups will be allowed, per the syllabus. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">All essays are due at the <strong>BEGINNING</strong> of class!</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Write an essay of between <strong>300-500</strong> words in answer to <strong>ONE</strong> of the following questions. Please follow standard essay-writing principles—strong thesis statement, thoughtful, well-reasoned, organized, and fully-developed argument, supporting details, and proper grammar. This essay must be <strong>TYPED </strong>and <strong>DOUBLE-SPACED</strong>, per MLA format. Cite specifically to the source, using standard MLA-style documentation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) In her introduction to Nella Larsen’s <em>Passing,</em> critic Thadious M. Davis writes that “…Larsen represents passing as a practical, emancipatory option, a means by which people of African descent could permeate what W.E.B. DuBois termed ‘the veil of color caste.’” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Question:</strong> <em>How is this idea of “freedom” exemplified in the novel thus far? <strong>Cite specifically to the source, using standard MLA-style documentation. </strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2) Critic Deborah E. McDowell writes: “In Passing, understanding that Irene Redfield, from whose perspective much of the novel is told, is an unreliable narrator, is key to understanding the novel. Equally important is the function of Clare and Irene as doubles, a strategy that undermines Irene’s authority as the center of racial consciousness, and uncovers the issues of sexuality and class that an exclusive focus on race conceals.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Question:</strong> <em>The metaphor of passing accrues several layers of meaning. What are they? How do they relate to each other? <strong>Cite specifically to the source, using standard MLA-style documentation. </strong></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3) “[Irene] was caught between two allegiances, different, yet the same. Herself. Her race. Race: The thing that bound and suffocated her. Whatever steps she took, or if she took none at all, something would be crushed. A person or the race. Clare, herself, or the race. Or, it might be all three.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Question:</strong> <em>What does this passage mean? <strong>Cite specifically to the source, using standard MLA-style documentation. </strong></em></span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi, class,</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here is the update* on the readings and presentations scheduled for next week:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Frances E.W. Harper: Read the handouts I gave you all. In addition, here is a link to a more readable version of her short story, "The Two Offers":</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As I mentioned, I am cutting the Frederick Douglass readings for now—three students are delivering presentations on Douglass, so I will save my commentary for then. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Please read the above pieces and be ready to comment on a section that you find of particular significance--pay attention to diction, language, tone, and theme. What is significant about each piece? What do you notice about the rhetorical style? </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In addition, we will be starting on Nella Larsen's <i>Passing.</i> <b style="color: #660000;">Please read Part One: "Encounter," pp. 3-69. </b>Although I will not require it, you may want to read Mae G. Henderson's foreword--it will provide some background and context to the novel.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">* You are only responsible for reading the pieces listed above. However, if you have an opportunity, you may want to read the texts for this week’s presentations in advance:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

Hi, class,</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;">I am making a few modifications to the individual presentation guidelines. Please note the changes. You will be responsible for delivering a brief presentation (5 minutes maximum) on one of the readings from <b>The Black Past, </b>the online reference guide to African American history (click on link at left). The objective of the assignment is to present the work in such a way as to heighten the class’s interest in learning more about the author or the topic presented in the text. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;">You must provide a brief overview of the piece, as well as some analysis as to why you think the work is of continuing literary/historic value. <b>Please provide a one-page handout with one or two passages which exemplify the major theme of the piece. This handout should include at least 3 educational/scholarly links to more information about the author (such as an online bibliography, collected works, etc.).</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;">A 5-minute presentation is approximately 2 double-spaced typed pages. You may prefer to write out your presentation or you may work from notes. Time yourself and rehearse so that you may give a polished, professional presentation--I will stop the presentation at 5 minutes. Be prepared to answer additional questions from the instructor and your classmates on the topic of your presentation. Below is the schedule of readings. <b>Class will begin with the delivery of the presentations, so please come to class on time on the date of your presentation. </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 104%;"><br />
