Q Task: This week we read Kendi's "The American Nightmare" and Hurston's "How It Feels to be Colored Me." I want you to choose one and practice writing a summary. First, you should probably re-read the essay and/or revisit your annotations and notes. Remember your summary should introduce the author and title (and possibly brief contextual information that might be important for the reader to know). Your summary should include the main points of the essay. You should recap the main points and provide key supporting details. Requirements: • Write a summary (about 4 sentences) of Kendi OR Hurston's essay • Respond to one peer after posting. Your response needs to be at least 50 words.
