Truth and Intellect

Truth

Sarah Kay is a well-known spoken word poet. Her TED talk is called "If I Should Have a Daughter..."

She invites us to seek truth within ourselves, asking us what truly matters and why.

In your Writer's Notebook

  1. Begin a new entry at the top of the page that you label with today's date.
  2. List your three truths.
  3. Wait for more directions.
If you were absent, you are still responsible for this:
Watch Sarah Kay's to the 6 minute mark (or thereabouts), write down your three truths, and write for 10-15 minutes starting here: "One truth I know without doubt....."

You have to be in class. You're missing important pieces of our learning.

Intellect

We're going to be looking at a new reading today over the course of today and tomorrow. This one is called Hidden Intellectualism. It is not easy, and that's okay. 

Before we get to it:
How would you define or characterize an "intellectual?"


It is view-only. You'll need to make a copy for yourself that you can annotate/edit.

Today we're only going to be looking at the first two paragraphs and the last paragraph together.
