It’s Gradfolio Assessment Week at Beacon which means that every day for about five hours, Mary Whittemore and I have been sitting in a little room listening to seniors defend their work. I can safely say that I have heard just about every permutation of how Anna Deavere Smith’s Twilight and Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing are or are not texts that effectively advocate for social change. Equally, I have heard my students compare and contrast every single text we read in Connection and Disconnection.
