APELC Class Notes

Objectives: APELCers processed texts from multiple genres.

Third hour juniors and seniors, we began by looking at the visual texts from the reader, American Gothic by Grant Wood and “Rural Rehabilitation Clients” by Ben Shahn, which I’ve posted below and then we began our discussion of the Britt piece.

Rural Rehabilitation Clients, Ben Shahn
American Gothic, Grant Wood

Finally, we reviewed Elijah Muhammad’s account of the origin of black and white men as retold by Malcolm X in his autobiography, and I asked you whether we legitimately evaluate this foundational aspect of the Nation of Islam’s worldview as true or false. Delicious discussion ensued.
