  • Grade 7 Mini-Assessment Boston Massacre Set
    Grade 7 Mini-Assessment Boston Massacre Set This grade 7 mini-assessment is based two passages: “The Boston Massacre” and “Excerpt from The Boston Massacre.” These texts are considered to be worthy of students’ time to read and also meet the expectations for text complexity at grade 7. Assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) will employ quality, complex texts such as these. Questions aligned to the CCSS should be worthy of students’ time to answer and therefore do not focus on minor points of the text. Questions also may address several standards within the same question because complex texts tend to yield rich assessment questions that call for deep analysis. In this mini-assessment there are nine selected-response questions and two paper/pencil equivalents of a technology enhanced item that address the Reading Standards listed below, and one optional constructed-response question that addresses the Reading, Writing, and Language Standards listed below. We encourage educators to give students the time that they need to read closely and write to the source. While we know that it is helpful to have students complete the mini-assessment in one class period, we encourage educators to allow additional time as necessary. Note for teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs): This assessment is designed to measure students’ ability to read and write in English. Therefore, educators will not see the level of scaffolding typically used in instructional materials to support ELLs—these would interfere with the ability to understand their mastery of these skills. If ELL students are receiving instruction in grade-level ELA content, they should be given access to unaltered practice assessment items to gauge their progress.

  • “Rapper's Delight”
    1 “Rapper’s Delight” From Genre-less to New Genre I was approached in ’77. A gentleman walked up to me and said, “We can put what you’re doing on a record.” I would have to admit that I was blind. I didn’t think that somebody else would want to hear a record re-recorded onto another record with talking on it. I didn’t think it would reach the masses like that. I didn’t see it. I knew of all the crews that had any sort of juice and power, or that was drawing crowds. So here it is two years later and I hear, “To the hip-hop, to the bang to the boogie,” and it’s not Bam, Herc, Breakout, AJ. Who is this?1 DJ Grandmaster Flash I did not think it was conceivable that there would be such thing as a hip-hop record. I could not see it. I’m like, record? Fuck, how you gon’ put hip-hop onto a record? ’Cause it was a whole gig, you know? How you gon’ put three hours on a record? Bam! They made “Rapper’s Delight.” And the ironic twist is not how long that record was, but how short it was. I’m thinking, “Man, they cut that shit down to fifteen minutes?” It was a miracle.2 MC Chuck D [“Rapper’s Delight”] is a disco record with rapping on it. So we could do that. We were trying to make a buck.3 Richard Taninbaum (percussion) As early as May of 1979, Billboard magazine noted the growing popularity of “rapping DJs” performing live for clubgoers at New York City’s black discos.4 But it was not until September of the same year that the trend gar- nered widespread attention, with the release of the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” a fifteen-minute track powered by humorous party rhymes and a relentlessly funky bass line that took the country by storm and introduced a national audience to rap.

  • Better Mus' Come
    BETTER MUS’ COME PUBLICITY CONTACTS Tilane Jones [email protected] 818.995.0050 Rating: NR TRT: 104 minutes CREDITS Written & Directed by Storm Producer Paul Bucknor Executive Produced by Joshua Bratter Samantha Bratter Paul Bucknor Director of Photography Storm Editors Storm Paul Bucknor Cast Sheldon Shepherd - Ricky Nicole Grey - Kemala Ricardo Orgill - Flames Everaldo Creary - Short Man Roger Guenveur Smith - Prime Minister SYNOPSIS Better Mus’ Come is a coming of age drama set in Jamaica’s turbulent 1970s, against the backdrop of the Cold War, a national water crisis, an energy crisis, corruption, and numerous murder scandals that gave birth to the polarized violence gripping the streets of Kingston both then and now. After months of incarceration as a suspected political agitator, Ricky is released. Haunted by the tragic death of his devoted young wife and paralyzed by conflicting feelings of guilt and loyalty to his political tribe, he tries to navigate his way through the minefields created by the constant social upheaval that seems to be ubiquitous in his community, while providing a better life for his 5- year old son. At his home coming party Ricky meets Kemala, a book smart country girl, who lives in the opposing neighborhood, enemy territory. In many ways they are opposites, but what starts as antagonism quickly turns into burning passion. Kemala encourages Ricky to convince his old friends in the community to adopt a more passive approach. To defy the status quo of confrontation, this leads to the inevitable cycle of violence. The big question is, can Ricky and his crew beat the odds and ensure that Better Mus’ Come? Director’s Statement I’ve always been a bit of a cold war junkie, and there was a point in my life where I would watch, read, and research everything I could on geopolitics and espionage in the 20th century.

  • The Performative Politicization of Public Space: Mexico 1968-2008-2012 Robin Adèle Greeley
    thresholds 41 Spring 2013, 18-31 THE PERFORMATIVE POLITICIZATION OF PUBLIC SPACE: MEXICO 1968-2008-2012 ROBIN ADÈLE GREELEY Peña Nieto: the TV is yours; Mexico is ours! #YoSoy132 banner, June 2012 In May 2012, just weeks before the recent presidential elections in Mexico, a group of students at the Universidad Iberoamericana challenged the presidential candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Enrique Peña Nieto, during his cam- paign stop at the university.1 Peremptorily dismissed as being mob infiltrators hired by Peña Nieto’s political opponents, 131 Ibero students posted a video on YouTube displaying their university IDs and reiterating their outrage at the PRI’s persistent autocratic spurning of everyday citizens.2 The video sparked a spontaneous new grassroots political movement, “#YoSoy132” (“I am 132,” following up on the origi- nal 131 students) that rejected the PRI’s authoritarian neoliberalist platform and, in particular, its long history of collusion with powerful news media corporations.3 In the following weeks, hundreds of thousands of #YoSoy132 protestors repeatedly took to the streets across the country, to demand the democratization of the news media and the liberalization of the political system in Mexico. #YoSoy132 has regularly been compared to Mexico’s 1968 student movement which, as many have argued, “undermined forever the foundations of authoritarian- ism in Mexico.”4 Like their 1968 counterparts, #YoSoy132 has mounted a powerful anti-systemic call for a renewed politics “from below” to counteract the longstand- ing autocratic cronyism and corruption of the nation’s political leadership. Yet the comparison of #YoSoy132 with 1968 raises profound questions concerning the development of the public sphere in Mexico and its ability to foment a functional de- mocracy.

  • Protect Your Art
    PROTECT YOUR ART Key Terms Producers Forget to Include in Their Beat Licenses MAKE SURE PRODUCERS INCLUDE THEIR RIGHT TO ACCOUNTING. 1 In addition to the right to renegotiation if the Artist is signed to a Major Label, producers should also include that they have a right to an accounting. Because the producer owns the beat and ultimately the copyright, their non-exclusive license could give them the right to share in monies grossed from major label deals, publishing, or even licensing deals. In order to make sure they can accurately account for this when an Artist gets signed, gets a placement with a world renown artist, or gets a placement in a new sprite commercial, they need to have a RIGHT TO ACCOUNTING from the artist. This could say something along the lines of: “In consideration of the rights granted to Artist by Producer and all services rendered by producer in connection with the above License, Producer reserves the right to an accounting of the royalties that have accrued and will accrue in the future from the use of the above License. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Artist fails to provide an accurate account to the producer for any composition including the above License, this is considered a material breach of contract.” Here’s an excerpt from a case involving Young Money Entertainment, whichshows the value of having the right to an accounting. Drum Major Music Entertainment Inc V. Young Money Entertainment, Llc Et A: Lollipop was also the single most downloaded ringtone of the 2000s, with, upon information and belief, in excess of 5,000,000 downloads.
