Due Friday, April 14

Read excerpt about Ida Mae Brandon's decision to leave her Southern home.  Highlight and annotate the following elements of the reading:


Highlight and annotate what you learned about Ida Mae Brandon.  To get started look for information about what she was like, what key things happened to her, why do you think she wanted to leave her home, what might have kept her from leaving.

In class today we discussed the questions from "The Great Migration" and wrote a free write on the following:

Think of  a time in your life when made a big transition.  This could be when your family moved, or when you went to a different school, or made new friends and left others behind,  Describe why it happened, how you felt about it, and how you adjusted, how did you change if at all.  

We also drew analogies to better understand the Great Migration experience. If you were absent, see me about make-up.
