Sherman Alexie is a preeminent Native American poet, novelist, performer and filmmaker. He has garnered high praise for his poems and short stories of contemporary Native American reservation life, among them The Business of Fancydancing (1992), The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven (1993), which won a PEN/Hemingway Award, and Smoke Signals (1998), a critically acclaimed movie based on one of Alexie's short stories and for which he co-wrote the screenplay. An acclaimed performer of his own work, Alexie held the World Heavyweight Poetry title for four years. He continues to perform many of his poems at poetry slams, festivals, and other venues, and has received praise for the energy and emotion he brings to his work.

A Spokane/Coeur d'Alene tribal member, Alexie grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, Washington. Alexie was born hydrocephalic and underwent an operation at six months of age; he was not expected to survive. Though he lived through the experience, he was plagued with seizures as a child and spent most of his childhood reading. In the eighth grade, he decided to attend Reardan High School, located twenty miles outside the reservation. His achievements in high school secured his admission to Spokane's Jesuit Gonzaga University in 1985, where he had a successful academic career but began to abuse alcohol. Alexie transferred to Washington State University in 1987 and began writing poetry and short fiction. In 1990 Alexie's work was published in Hanging Loose magazine, a success he has credited with giving him the incentive to quit drinking. He has remained sober ever since.

In his short-story and poetry collections, Alexie illuminates the despair, poverty, and alcoholism that often shape the lives of Native Americans living on reservations. His poems, novels and short stories evoke sadness and indignation yet also leave readers with a sense of respect and compassion for characters who are in seemingly hopeless situations. Involved with crime, alcohol, or drugs, Alexie's protagonists struggle to survive the constant battering of their minds, bodies, and spirits by white American society and their own self-hatred and sense of powerlessness. As Alexie asserted in The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Native Americans "have a way of surviving. But it's almost like Indians can easily survive the big stuff. Mass murder, loss of language and land rights. It's the small things that hurt the most. The white waitress who wouldn't take an order, Tonto, the Washington Redskins." While he depicts the lives of Native Americans who attempt to escape their situation through alcohol and other forms of self-abuse, Alexie's characters also access a mental, emotional, and spiritual outlet, which he refers to as "fancydancing."

A key characteristic of Alexie's writing is irony, and his dark humor is often buoyed by an exquisite sense of timing. His poetry collections The Business of Fancydancing and First Indian on the Moon (1993) expose the "fraudulent illusions that tempt us all in America today," noted Andrea-Bess Baxter in Western American Literature. Commenting on The Business of Fancydancing, Alexie's first published poetry collection, Leslie Ullman in the Kenyon Review wrote that the author "weaves a curiously soft-blended tapestry of humor, humility, pride and metaphysical provocation out of the hard realities...the tin-shack lives, the alcohol dreams, the bad luck and burlesque disasters, and the self-destructive courage of his characters." Such irony is also a major force in Alexie's prose, particularly his early short story collections, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist-Fight in Heaven and The Toughest Indian in the World (2000), which Ken Foster for the San Francisco Chronicle described as having a "consistently dark comic tone." In an interview Alexie commented on his progression from poems to short stories to novels as occurring "pretty naturally because...my poems are stories. It felt natural for me to evolve to a larger form. Not to say it wasn't difficult for me at first, though...I had this thing about going beyond one page, typewritten. I'd get to the bottom of a page and freak out, because I wouldn't know what to do next. But the stories kept getting bigger and bigger...They began to demand more space than a poem could provide."

Alexie was named to Granta's Best of Young American Novelists list in 1996. Editor Ian Jack said the judges had "liked his [Alexie's] work because it had something to tell us. Native American life, life on the reservation, is a pretty under-described experience." He added that "fiction, if it's any good, should persuade you of individual and inner lives. Alexie's book wasn't sanctimonious or pious or a piece of political pleading-it introduced you to characters who were native American and made them as complex and odd as everyone else." Alexie's early work was often described in such terms. Verlyn Klinkenborg noted in the Los Angeles Times Book Review that Alexie writes effectively for "a divided audience, Native American and Anglo. He is willing to risk didacticism whenever he stops to explain the particulars of the Spokane, and, more broadly, the Native American experience to his readers. But Alexie never sounds didactic. His timing is too good for that"; Abigail Davis in Bloomsbury Review declared that "this first novel by Sherman Alexie comes as close to helping a non-Native American understand the modern Indian experience as any attempt in current literature. The reader closes the book feeling troubled, hurt, hopeful, profoundly thoughtful, and somehow exhausted, as if the quest of the characters had been a personal experience."

But as Alexie's prose writing has matured, it has become less focused on exposing a uniquely Native American world to Anglo audiences. Ken Foster, in his review of The Toughest Indian in the World for the San Francisco Chronicle, described how the nine stories in the collection retrace Alexie's familiar territory of Native-white conflict without feeling "the need to instruct his readers in the details of contemporary American Indian culture, and why should he? The lives he portrays are so finely detailed." Eric Weinberger, in his review of Alexie's short story collection Ten Little Indians (2003), likewise noted that the "the most successful stories in Ten Little Indians don't traffic in their Indianness." Alexie's 2007 novel Flightalso treads his familiar themes in new ways. In the story of 15-year-old foster kid "Zits," his adventures through time, and his reincarnation as various historical characters, Alexie "skillfully explores both sides of the proverbial war. Zits witnesses brutal violence through the eyes of whites and Indians, fathers and sons, and he begins to understand what it means to be the hero, the villain and the victim," wrote S. Kirk Walsh in his review for the New York Times. Released the same year, Alexie's semi-autobiographical young adult novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian received major critical praise and won a host of awards, including the National Book Award for Young People's Literature.

Alexie has also been active in film, helping to create the first all-Indian movie. Smoke Signals (1998) which was a major studio release, writing and directing the adaption of his own book The Business of Fancy-Dancing (2003), and writing the script for the independent film 49? (2003). Based on an Alexie short story, Smoke Signals was produced, directed, and acted by Native American talent. The plot follows a young man living an aimless life in Idaho. Victor Joseph, who has lost contact with his Native roots, embarks on a journey to "discover his past and accept his present," as Los Angeles Magazine writer James Greenberg put it. The finished film took top honors at the Sundance Film Festival; on the occasion of its 1998 wide release, Alexie told a Time interviewer that he hoped Smoke Signals would open doors for Indian filmmakers. He pointed to African-American director Spike Lee as a role model: "Spike didn't necessarily get films made as much as he inspired filmmakers to believe in themselves. That's what's going to happen here. These 13-year-old Indian kids who've been going crazy with their camcorders will finally see the possibilities."

While he explores many of the same themes in all his chosen genres, Alexie's poetry is arguably even more self-conscious and ironic than his prose. A mix of narrative, formal innovation and gorgeous lyricism, his poetry collections often contain extended prose pieces, as in The Business of Fancy-Dancing, First Indian on the Moon (1993), and One Stick Song (2000), which Publisher's Weekly praised for its "ability to handle multiple perspectives and complex psychological subject matter with a humor that feeds readability." His collection Face (2009) includes poems written in forms like the sestina and villanelle, as well meta-textual effects like extended footnotes and frame-breaking moments of self-awareness. The effect, according to Stephen Ross in the Oxonian Review, is "light-hearted without being light, colloquial without being cliché, and serious without being sententious."

Alexie has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including the 2009 Mason Award, the 2008 Stranger Genius Award, a Pushcart Prize, the PEN/Malamud Award, a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship, and numerous honorary degrees. He is a highly sought-after public speaker and has been a guest on nationally-broadcast radio and TV programs like the McNeil-Lehrer Report, NOW with Bill Moyers, and the Colbert Report. He lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife and two sons.

Owl: Welcome to Annotating a Textbook, an instructional video on reading comprehension brought to you by the Excelsior College Online Writing Lab.

0:12

So you've been assigned to read a chapter or section in a textbook.

0:16

Most likely, your teacher plans to give a quiz, test, or exam on the material.

0:22

Owl: Well, reading a textbook is easier when you understand how it works.

0:27

You'll be able to find the information you need and remember it when it comes time to study.

0:31

Textbooks are a unique kind of genre with their own specialized organization and goals.

0:37

In general, most textbooks share the following qualities: They

0:41

follow an explicit pattern of organization or structure,

0:45

emphasize facts and evidence,

0:47

rely on references to important research,

0:50

introduce many new terms,

0:52

and provide visual aids.

0:55

Okay. Let's look at the different elements that make up the structure of a typical chapter in a textbook.

1:01

A typical chapter may contain some or all of the following ten items:

1:06

1. An introduction, abstract, or synopsis that states the purpose of the chapter;

1:12

2. A list of chapter objectives, goals, or learning outcomes;

1:18

3. A chapter outline;

1:20

4. Titles, headings, and subheadings that divide up the chapter;

1:26

5. Key terms that are bold-faced, italicized, or made to stand out in some special way;

1:33

6. Boxes and sidebars to pull out key information;

1:38

7. Visual aids or figures;

1:42

8. A chapter summary or conclusion that reviews the main idea;

1:48

9. A vocabulary list or glossary;

1:53

10. Study questions and activities to help you focus on key ideas and remember them.

1:59

You can improve how well you read a textbook by applying five techniques.

2:04

First, remember to read with a pen, pencil, or highlighter in hand so that you can mark-up important information, such as key facts, terms, and ideas.

2:15

This will help you to remember them better and find them more easily when it comes time to study.

2:20

Also, write questions or comments in the margins as you read and answer any guide questions that you previously placed in the margins.

2:28

By doing so, you will improve your understanding and identify what you need to understand better.

2:34

Textbooks-especially those written for the physical and social sciences-often introduce and evaluate important theories.

2:41

When you come across a new theory, ask yourself the following questions:

2:48

Who proposed it and when?

2:50

What does it explain and how?

2:52

What evidence supports it?

2:54

Are there counter-theories?

2:59

You can improve your understanding of a theory by summarizing it in your own words.

3:04

You can do this in the margins or in a separate notebook.

3:09

Textbooks also tend to emphasize specialized or technical terms that are important to a field of study or discipline.

3:17

These terms are often singled out in bold-faced or italicized print and frequently accompanied by a definition in a sidebar or glossary.

3:26

Highlight or underline them.

3:28

Key terms can include the names of laws, theories, principles, models, concepts, patterns, systems, stages, processes, structures, parts, and important people in the field.

3:45

A good way to help you remember new vocabulary items such as specialized or technical terms is to make vocabulary flashcards.

3:53

As you read, make a list of all the terms that are new or challenging.

3:57

Then, look up the definition, either in the textbook or in a dictionary.

4:02

Write down the new word or phrase on one side of a note card.

4:06

Then write the definition on the other side.

4:09

Below that, write down a sentence using the word.

4:12

This will help you understand the word better.

4:14

When it comes time to study, you can challenge yourself by reading the word and guessing at the definition.

4:20

Then check your answer on the back of the flashcard.

4:24

Go here for more help with new vocabulary.

4:27

Another key feature of textbooks is the inclusion of visual aids to convey important information.

4:33

Visual aids can be found within the body of the text or in special boxes, sidebars, and appendices.

4:40

They normally have a title and caption that explain what they are.

4:45

Each visual aid is often referred to as a "table" or "figure" and numbered to make it easier to find.

4:52

Sometimes a textbook will have a special table of contents at the beginning of the text just to list all the numbered tables and figures for the reader's convenience.

5:01

By paying attention to visual aids, you can learn a lot about the topic that the chapter is covering.

5:06

Make a note of key visual aids that you want to revisit later when it comes time to study or review information.

5:12

If you're having trouble reading and understanding visual aids, check out this video.

5:19

Finally, after you read make sure to give yourself some time to go over any provided study questions or activities at the end of the chapter.

5:27

This will help you to monitor your understanding of what you've read, deepen your understanding, and help you remember it.

5:34

It's also a good idea to create your own study questions and write them on flashcards to help you study later on.

5:40

Go back to the beginning of the text and review your notes.

5:44

Create study questions about important theories, facts, people, dates, and terms.

5:51

To make studying easier, write up your questions and answers on note cards with questions on the front and answers on the back.

5:58

Use these note cards to help you study.

6:03

When you're ready to study for an exam, you should:

6:08

If provided, review the chapter objectives and outline;

6:12

Review important information, such as theories, facts, names, dates, and terms;

6:19

Review any vocabulary flashcards you created;

6:22

Review your answers to study questions and activities;

6:26

Review any study questions you created.

6:29

Remember to give yourself enough time to study before the exam.

6:33

Don't wait until the last minute!

Owl: Welcome to Paraphrasing, an instructional video on reading comprehension brought to you by the Excelsior College Online Writing Lab.

0:14

A helpful way to improve your reading comprehension is by paraphrasing what you read.

0:19

Paraphrasing involves putting an author's ideas into your own words.

0:24

Paraphrasing is helpful for checking your understanding of what you read and remembering what you read.

0:32

Paraphrasing differs from quoting and summarizing in key ways.

0:37

Quoting is about citing an author's ideas exactly as they appear in the text without changing any words.

0:43

Paraphrasing is about putting an author's ideas into your own words.

0:47

Summarizing is about condensing the meaning of a lengthy passage or entire text into a brief statement that reviews the main ideas in your own words.

0:57

Paraphrasing is useful for reading and writing.

1:00

For reading purposes, paraphrasing comes in handy for taking notes or making annotations.

1:06

Paraphrase important information during or after reading by writing the author's ideas in your own words in the margins or in a notebook.

1:15

This will help you check your understanding and improve your memory of what you read.

1:20

For writing purposes, paraphrasing is helpful for writing research papers because it provides an efficient way to incorporate another author's ideas into your own writing without having to use their exact words.

1:34

Paraphrasing is easier if you follow these tips:

1:38

Identify the exact passage you want to paraphrase

1:43

Look away from the text when paraphrasing so that you don't repeat the author's words

1:48

Restate the author's ideas in different words that are equally specific

1:53

Change the order of ideas and the sentence structure

1:57

It's ok to reuse words that can't be replaced, such as names, titles, and special terminology

2:05

If you need to repeat exact phrases or special terminology from the original text, place them in quotation marks

2:14

Provide a citation for the paraphrase and make a note of complete publication info for the source

2:21

These tips will help you paraphrase accurately and avoid unintentionally plagiarizing the author by repeating his or her own words.

2:30

Finally, keep in mind that your paraphrase may be longer or shorter than the original.

2:38

We'll paraphrase the highlighted portion in this chapter on the role of the media in American politics.

2:45

First, let's read the selection:

2:47

"The media also engages in agenda setting, which is the act of choosing which issues or topics deserve public discussion. For example, in the early 1980s, famine in Ethiopia drew worldwide attention, which resulted in increased charitable giving to the country."

3:05

Now, let's apply the tips shared earlier to paraphrase the selection with the following sentence:

3:12

One function of the media is "agenda setting"-the selection of topics for public scrutiny and debate: for instance, when the media called attention to the Ethiopian famine it caused a wave of donations (OpenStax, American Government, 292).

3:29

This paraphrase follows the tips shared earlier because it restates the selection in our own words, changes the order of ideas and the sentence structure, places quotation marks around exact phrases or special terminology taken directly from the original text; in this case the special term "agenda setting" is displayed in quotations, and provides a citation.

3:57

Remember, paraphrasing what you read is an excellent way to check your understanding and help you remember what you read.

4:05

On the afternoon of Aug. 9, a police officer fatally shot an unarmed, black teenager, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. Details remain in dispute. Eyewitnesses have said that Brown was compliant with police and was shot while he had his hands up. Police maintain that the 18-year-old had assaulted an officer and was reaching for the officer's gun. One thing clear, however, is that Brown's death follows a disturbingly common trend of black men being killed, often while unarmed and at the hands of police officers, security guards and vigilantes.

After news of Brown's death broke, media-watchers carefully followed the narratives that news outlets began crafting about the teenager and the incident that claimed his life. Wary of the controversy surrounding the media's depiction of Trayvon Martin -- the Florida teen killed in a high-profile case that led to the acquittal of neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman -- people on Twitter wondered, "If they gunned me down, which picture would they use?" Using the hashtag #IfTheyGunnedMeDown, users posted side-by-side photos, demonstrating the power that news outlets wield in portraying victims based on images they select.

On Monday, Twitter user LordSWVP tweeted out a photo driving home another point: Media treatment of black victims is often harsher than it is of whites suspected of crimes, including murder.

This makes the hashtag #IfTheyGunnedMeDown so powerful. It's sad that some people have taken it to another level. pic.twitter.com/oZnLDRRDhN

- Sammie. ™ (@LordSWVP) August 11, 2014

This is by no means standard media protocol, but it happens frequently, deliberately or not. News reports often headline claims from police or other officials that appear unsympathetic or dismissive of black victims. Other times, the headlines seem to suggest that black victims are to blame for their own deaths, engaging in what critics sometimes allege is a form of character assassination. When contrasted with media portrayal of white suspects and accused murderers, the differences are more striking. News outlets often choose to run headlines that exhibit an air of disbelief at an alleged white killer's supposed actions. Sometimes, they appear to go out of their way to boost the suspect's character, carrying quotes from relatives or acquaintances that often paint even alleged murderers in a positive light.

Here are a few examples:
That's how the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal chose to present the story of Amy Bishop, a former college professor who eventually pleaded guilty to killing three colleagues and wounding three others at a faculty meeting in 2010. Earlier this month, the New York Daily News ran this headline, carrying comments by the Ohio attorney general that appeared to defend police after killing a black man at a Walmart.
