Students are falling by the wayside like ducks on a shooting range--what a violent image, if the ducks are real.

2. Argument--WLTC

3. Review exercises --revision (essays). Review MLA

4. From the Bottom of the Heap read and discuss

5. In class essay on race and privilege: Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis

6. Homework: posted already. Revise essay 1. Read From the Bottom up to page 104. Write a summary 250 words of the events so far. Draw a profile of Robert Wilkerson. What do we know about him? What can we expect? Is he a character, such that we can predict the trajectory of his life? How does this confirm what Wise says about privilege and race and class?
