During these two classes we will watch the first two episodes from the PBS mini-series Faces of America. In this show, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. interviews a number of celebrities and we get to listen in and see how their family came to America, and how those original members originally thrived and became successful. While the students watch the two episodes, they will be tasked to choose two characters to write about. The assignment, a worksheet, is simple: the student will break up what the character says into two categories--narrative and reflection. You can find more about narrative and reflection under the Personal Response Essay heading.
