Black Girl Literacies... When Business Cannot Go On as Usual
Part Two |
3 Station Teach-In |
- Curriculum Before: What in the institution's existing curriculum (the one you are required to teach or the one you are required to take as a grad student) contextualizes the life and murder of Atatiana Jefferson? Be specific--- name the texts and teaching methods. List it all here. If there is very little connection, diagnose AS EXPLICITLY as you can this deliberate erasure. Read it for filth. List it all here.
- Curriculum Now: What do we know right now? What have we read or seen that centers Atatiana Jefferson's life and murder? What do we need to share with our students/community? What do we "assign"? Essays? Books? Songs? Videos? Poems? Be specific--- name the texts, pages, etc. List it all here. What do we ask students/community to do as they read, look, examine?
- Classroom Instruction from Here On Out: What are the BlackGirlLiteracies in Atatiana Jefferson's life and death? List it all here. What methodologies do those literacies represent? What are the specific activities IN CLASS around Atatiana Jefferson's life and death that students/community will engage? What will you do besides open-forum discussions where one person talks at a time? Be specific--- name the ideas, strategies etc. List it all here.
- EVERY STATION: What questions/issues do you want to add? You can go way beyond the teacher's questions here. Please list these with as much detail as possible. For instance, what does it mean to be a graduate student--- right here and right now (not the diss or the articles you will publish later)? What do your research and scholarship--- RIGHT NOW--- challenge and remake? What do your institutional practices--- RIGHT NOW--- challenge and remake?
