ERWC Period 1

For those students who missed period one due to the choral performance, the following questions were discussed in class:
1. What demons does Mr. Washington experience in Chapter 7, even though he may not perceive them to be such.
2. For what position (job) did Mr. Washington apply? Do you think he was the victim of racism or a microaggression?
3. What is the purpose of Ted Fox as a character? How is he portrayed as a "stereotypical" good natured Caucasian?

Self to Text Connection: "A Dozen Demons" by Ellis Cose.  Re-read the expository text, "A Dozen Demons" by Ellis Cose. Then, self-select eight demons that resonate with you.  For each demon, write out a specific instance in which you experienced it, felt that way, or observed someone who felt that way. Be sure to be specific.
