THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF A FLIPPED CLASSROOM, and you should be done with your novel by the March 7. If you are going past that deadline, endeavor to finish no later than this weekend. Also this week, everyone should meet with Mr. Easton outside of class for a brief conversation about your junior theme book, specifically a) what it is about, and b) what you think the book’s major theme is.

MONDAY

Examining the idea of duality in the black American experience via W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folks. We will first read a secondary analysis of the work, and then begin the first chapter on that essay collection.
Read the foreword and the first chapter to Du Bois’s text.

TUESDAY

Overview of the annotated bibliography. We will discuss what goes into the paragraph that follows the MLA bibliographic entry. In small groups, you will read the first chapter of The Craft of Research, which reviews what research is and why writing during the process of research is so important.
Continue locating your five, thematic sources that examine your novel’s theme. Read the next ten pages of Invisible Man (chapter eighteen), wherein Brother Tarp gives the IM the link that held him enslaved before his escape.

WEDNESDAY

Returning to Invisible Man. We’ll look at two pages from an online essay, as an example of sources that require careful analysis, when including these on your annotated bibliography. We will then finish reading chapter
