Black and Gay: assignment 10

You are now going to read the text once more and discuss it with a partner.

This is what you do:

1. Read the introduction and the five sections carefully. On your own, decide which sentences contain the most important information. Underline or highlight important words and sentences. Do this on your own.

2. Team up with a partner and talk about each section: one of you tells the other one what the section (start with the introduction) is about (in English of course). Try to use your own words. The other one asks questions and reacts (does he/she agree? why?). Do the same for the next sections, but switch roles each time.

3. Individually think of an alternative title for this text, as well as alternative headings for each section.
