The main idea of this video is to explain how students feel more comfortable when they're not forced to speak in a way that is not familiar to them. Mr. Davis explains how he used to get corrected for speaking in Ebonics just like how Anzaldua wrote about getting punished for speaking Spanish. The audience for this video is educators that think standard English should be forced.

The main idea of the video is to explain the struggles of having a mixed identity. Moraga explains how her Mexican peers were seen as less intelligent like in the Lucy Laney video where they explain how students talking in AAVE are seen as less educated. Moraga's audience is anyone who is not mixed because she is explaining her unique perspective as a Mexican/White person.

The main idea is how Anzaldua identifies through Spanish and how she speaks it. There are common themes of being forced to speak or act a certain way in Anzaldua's story and Moraga's video. The audience Anzaldua is writing for Americans in general that don't understand the many different Spanish dialects.

His description of a real Indian is based off stereotypes of how Indians look/act.
This connects to Adichie's idea of the danger of a single story and how a single perspective of a culture is portrayed.

The best ways to get to know

more than a single story, is to experience the place or culture.
Teach us that the people around us influence the way we act.
At first, things might seem simple, but if you dig deeper you can find more layers and different stories.

The video's purpose is to help us understand that there is never just one story to a person or a place.
She gave the example of Africa and how people see it as an under developed continent because of the narrow perspective.
Popular media gives people a small perspective of Africa that leads people to assume the culture of the entire continent.
How dangerous it is to focus in one tragic or shocking story instead of looking at the bigger picture.

We have read the following texts this week:

Beyonce’, “Formation”

Pose, “The Category Is Royalty”

Pratt, “The Arts of the Contact Zone”

For this activity, you will create two posts that offer academic summaries of “The Category Is Royalty” and “The Arts of the Contact Zone”. Each post should have:

A focus on each text’s presentation of identity and creating “mixed” texts.

A “packed” introductory sentence

Sentences that use the creator’s name, signal verb, and concrete explanations of important ideas or moments

2-3 paragraphs that group the important ideas or moments logically.

If you finish the summary task:

1. Review your summaries of the previous texts.

2. Create a new post that notes what is missing from your previous summaries.

1. Explain what work you will need to do to use this summary in Assignment #2.

2. Connect this “review” post to the original summary post.
