Greg McVerry@tchambers anyone can give anyone or anything Karma in the #IndieWeb chat other than that having a url is your reputation. You could use number of webmentions as indicators... But reputation engines get icky and gamed quickly.
Greg McVerry@dbounds if only Mastodon supported webmentions. That would make the coolest interop workflow for comments. In fact I turn off native comments and just use webmentions. Wish I could for Mastodon
Greg McVerryAll of my children co-slept with us since the day they were born (my five...little bugger that he is still sneaks in bed with us) never squished any of em...
Greg McVerry@mtobis Came across my college senior thesis about the Kyoto Protocol in '99 where I traced lobbyist donations (USA) and then suggested a strategic partnership with urbanites and Western small farms and ranchers because this organic food thing might be a thing and invest infrastructure in midwest to keep former union voters trending conservative as they age.
Greg McVerry@mtobis It's the #IndieWeb, your url is your reputation engine.
Greg McVerryI think there are nuanced differences in how Angelou and Dunbar captured the cage bird. Yes both capture pain and suffering and both use signing as a tool for freedom but the images of flight and soaring in Angelou's poems...not sure yet but it hits me differently. #edu307
Greg McVerry#edu307 here is more of Dunbar's work: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011913525;view=1up;seq=13
Greg McVerryEveryone in #edu307 always drawn to the hope in the poems, that one line. Yet they also share a common rage and repeat phrases of violence. Dunbar wrote hit poem first, he was the son of a slave. Angelou took this poem and shaped it in her own ways capturing much the same rage and hope but you can also feel the gains we made in civil rights and how far we st
Greg McVerry"TTQA" #smallpoems #edu307 Don't simply turn questions around take twist and turns shake fists and watch em burn resist the mental cysts of tools that prexist truth is kissed when answers missed instead of parroting for favor kick em with a carrot subsist as a contortionist reject extortionist notions BE free an alchemist with a potion search emotion let go
Greg McVerry#edu307 I provide prompts for your blogs but no rubric (beyond our criteria and guiding questions) for it should be a launching pad not a formula....If you need something CRAVE truth. Connect to the author, Restate the question (interwoven in your narrative) , Answer the question, define Vocabulary, provide Evidence and Examples... Even that makes me worry I
Greg McVerry#edu307 these poems are deeply connected http://blackpower.web.unc.edu/2017/04/maya-angelou-the-power-of-the-written-word/ Aneglou named her autobiography for the last word in "Sympathy." When you put their lives into context you see how you can never only assign meaning to words within the "four corners of a text"
Greg McVerryStudying Dunbar and Angelou in #edu307. I did not make connection for students. I wanted to see who drew it out, but maybe it is history that had severed the ties lineages lost a historical and not slightly rhetorical white washing a bird takes flight long before a plane yet with a wing of crooked truth, past overlooked
Greg McVerry#edu307 this is a strong piece of writing. In fact just because I offer a prompt in #edu307 does not mean you need to treat the assignment as an essay response. A great post can define itself. the audience would know what question you are answering without it ever being asked.
Greg McVerryDunbar's (came first) and Angelou's poems are deeply connected. He was an elevator operator. The cage may have been literal. Angelou played off this idea in her work. There is a rich historical lineage we can find in poetry #edu307
Greg McVerry#edu307 good use of textual evidence in this post. When you are working with students and poetry spend time reading deeply. https://jessicafressle.wordpress.com/2019/04/08/free-bird/
