Students completed #1 & 2 on the "Layering-to-Later" work page regarding "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and then discussed in small groups (to edit their pages) these two questions as well as the entire "Primary Source Close-Read" work page for "U.T.'s C." Due to time constraints we will do #3-5 on "Layering-to-Today" during class tomorrow when we have time for the full 8-minute clip. Today, however, we had adequate time for the minstrel show archival footage (You Tube "Minstrel -- Glen Turnbill -- Blackface Minstrel..."); read carefully the info on the work page and complete #6 (give at least 5 observations). (It will be clear to you that while these shows were intended to be entertaining, they were clearly offensive to people of color and to others who understood the concept of racism and racial stereotyping.)
