Read: The Dew Breaker Interview with Edwidge Danticat http://merrick.library.miami.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/asm0085/id/136/rec/4.

The Sargasso An Interview with Edwidge Danticat at http://humanidades.uprrp.edu/ingles/pdfs/sargasso/EDanticat.pdf.

Write: Using the strategies suggested the textbook,  compose a two-paragraph summary of the two sources above the video interview from Miami and the transcript of the interviews from PBS and Sargasso.  Hint: Avoid making judgements about the author, interviewer or setting of the interviews.  Focus your attention on introducing both interviews appropriately and communicating the purpose and central claims of the interviews.

Visualize: Locate an image (photograph, meme, video, etc.) online that represents the central theme(s) or message of the first part of Danticats novel. Using the guidelines at http://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/m, write alternative text for the image youve selected.

Narrate: Using free audio software at http://www.audacityteam.org or the recording feature on your mobile device, recite and record:

The summary youve written about the first-part of Danticats novel;

Discuss the reasons you think the online images youve chosen represents one of themes of the first part of Danticats novel and read the alternative text youve developed; and,

Describe your understanding of the way texts (images, sound files and written documents) communicate meaning.

Note: Your recording should be no longer than three to four (3-4) minutes; so, you will need to make an informal outline/notes (you do not need to submit this to me) and practice recording a few times to make certain you stay under the maximum length.
