Inside Outside Circle on Kanye West and Slavery

Kanye West and Slavery

Preview the short clipping of an interview that Kanye West had with radio host Charlemayne Tha God and examine the merit of his statement as you prepare discussion of your own points on the topic:

Are we still enslaved today? 

Use your C.E.R template to first plan your Claim, Evidence and Reasoning on the topic.

You may use parcels of ideas from West's viewpoint but you do not have to stick with his point of view.  Remember, an inside/outside circle allows you to argue both sides.

As you respond to the question, remember to use evidence that you built in your Cornell Notes on the story/text.

Your response should be in paragraph format and it should be edited before you submit it.

Remember to write your first Name and First Initial of your Last name and then submit anonymously to get credit your for work.

Having posted your original response to the question, YOU MUST respond to another peer's posting. When you respond, you must go beyond whether or not you liked what the person said. You must point out one or two places in the writing that speaks to how you saw, or did not see the author's point of view. Your response may be shorter than your original post, but it must be succinct enough to address your peer's response in a meaningful way.

An original post without any response to your peer's work will result in a grade lower than 65%. Please review the blog rubric before you post or respond to your peer's posting.
