1. Choose six of the poems below. You can find the poems after an overview of Alice Walker and her life and work.

2. Interview six people—students, co-workers, family, friends—and tell each a little about Alice Walker—who she is, what she wrote, why she is famous, and what she is famous for.

3. Then share one poem for all interviewees or a separate poem for each interviewee for a total of six poems.

Ask what ideas come to them as they read the poem.
Share your own thoughts and together explore the theme of the poem.
You will have to go over the poem several times, pausing to work on the significance of the ideas, imagery, choice of words, rhyme, rhythm, context, tone, setting, and characters to tease out what the poem means to you.
It’s quite possible your interviewee will have a different view of the poem, in which case your exchange of ideas can serve to enrich your mutual understanding.

DRUGS, CRIMES 1

The occurrence, use and abuse of drugs in our society are evolving issues. Marijuana, a Schedule I drug like heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD/acid), and ecstasy, was once widely viewed as a gateway drug and extremely dangerous for individuals (consumption) and society (public health and safety). However, currently 18 states, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia and the District of Columbia have legalized use and sale of small quantities of marijuana for recreational use (so long as the drugs are purchased from a licensed distributor and the appropriate taxes are paid). Several other states have decriminalized possession of small quantities of marijuana (in Maryland, less than 10 grams of marijuana is a civil offense). In many other states, as well as in federal law, the possession of marijuana is still a criminal offense. The wide range of views in our society, especially in light of the differing governmental stances, adds additional confusion and inconsistency to this issue.

The current change in attitude toward marijuana from negative to semi-positive is not a new phenomenon in our country. The reputation and enforcement stance on many other drugs has changes from acceptable to unacceptable or the reverse.

Using this week’s reading assignments as your source material, choose one of these drugs (Heroin, Cocaine or Marijuana) and describe the following:

-How did the drug initially arrive in the United States?
-Was the drug received favorably or negatively by main stream society?
-What historical impact has legislation had on the availability (legality) of the drug (example: Harrison Narcotic Act)?
