Focus: How do we enter the brightly lit world of an invisible man?
1. Announcements!
2. Warm-up: What does it mean to be invisible? Opening questions for Invisible Man.
3. Socratic seminar: The Prologue of Invisible Man
HW: By Friday, finish reading Chapters 1-5. Here is your reading ticket for Friday's Socratic seminar: Read the lyrics to Louis Armstrong's "Black and Blue" (copied below). Pick one line from the song that intrigues you, and find around ten lines from the Prologue through Chapter 5 in Invisible Man that connect somehow to this line. Draw the line from "Black and Blue" and the 10 lines from Invisible Man together by either forming them into a poem, writing a metacognitive on them, or any other way you can think of to synthesize them meaningfully. Please type all writing.
“Black and Blue” by Louis Armstrong
Cold empty bead, springs hard as lead
Feels like ole Ned...wished I was dead
What did I do...to be so black and blue
Even the mouse...ran from my house
They laugh at you...and all that you do
What did I do...to be so black and blue
I'm white...inside...but, that don't help my case
That's life...can't hide...what is in my face
How would it end...ain't got a friend
My only sin...is in my skin
What did I do...to be so black and blue
(instrumental break)
How would it end...I ain't got a friend
My only sin...is in my skin
What did I do...to be so black and blue
