Readings for today:
- Adam Elliot Cooper, "Interview with Tricia Rose: 'Hip Hop Can Be a Poetic Force for a Social Movement'" Ceasefire, Oct 29, 2012.
- PAPER #4 DUE TODAY - FINAL PAPER OUTLINE. For this paper I do not want you to give me a response to any of the specific readings. Instead, I want you to give me a detailed outline of what you will be doing in your final paper (due in two weeks). I want your papers to include the following: 1) A clear thesis statement in which you succinctly articulate your argument, 2) A general sketch of the points you will address in your paper, 3) An annotated bibliography that includes 10 peer-reviewed resources. With respect to the bibliography, I do not want you to simply list a number of titles and accompany them with an abstract. Rather, I want you to give me a list of titles and for each title I want you to briefly explain why and why this resource will be relevant to your project.

Readings for today:
- Hi folks. Since I've asked you all to focus your attention on doing a 'case study' for your final papers, I'm going to have you all read a good example of what a case study-based paper looks like. It's an article from Carol Stabile and I mentioned it in class on Monday....it's posted on ANGEL.
