WE ARE USING A CONTINUING WITH OUR FLIPPED CLASSROOM. For homework, over the next one and-one-half weeks, your homework is to finish reading and annotating your junior theme novel. Within class, we’re studying Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man.

MONDAY

We will start today by examining the dual meaning in chapter 15, picking up with the cockroaches that we left on Friday. How is the banging on the pipes as a way of "waking up" the people of Harlem? Make a prediction: Will the iM become the race-leader that Mary encourages him to become? We will start chapter 16, examining the “Hooverville shanties” from the IM’s memory.
