Intertexting is an exercise designed to allow the student to develop a rich understanding and feeling for several authors’ perspectives. It also requires you to place the authors in conversation with each other. Because the student actually must adopt individual authors’ viewpoints or outlooks, it requires the student to really know them. Here is how it works:
FOR THURSDAY (2/6)
1) Select a passage from each of the authors below. The passage should capture the author’s ideas, personality, and writing style:
i. Christensen
ii. Kliewer
iii. Danforth
iv. hooks
v. Ladson-Billings
vi. Wysocki (in Danforth)
2) You should come to class on Thursday with six passages (one from each author) typed into the left-hand column of a two columned table. Please put each passage in its own row. In discussion section, we will practice intertexting.
FOR TUESDAY, 2/11
3) For the next step of the assignment, respond to each of the passages you selected, but the words, the affect, the style, and the ideas should be reflective of one of the other authors.
a. In other words, pretend you are Ladson-Billings (or Danforth or Christensen, etc.) and respond/reflect/comment/write back to Wysocki’s (or Kliewer or hooks, etc.) quote that you listed as if you are Ladson-Billings (etc.).
b. This requires you, the writer, to put your own perspective aside and adopt that of another author.
c. You can select which person responds to whom, but be sure that you use each of the authors once as you respond to the passages. Also be sure, if you use Danforth to respond to Ladson-Billings, you cannot use Ladson-Billings to respond to Danforth. In other words, they should not be set up as pairs going both directions.
