    Abstract:
    Because it is all too easy to (accidentally) make assumptions about what first-year students know about language, in 2019-2020 my lit and comp type courses will begin with a segment on language, before moving on to sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Our exploration of language will start by jumping into a story, to help us identify the 8 parts of speech. These parts of speech are the building blocks of -- a) every sentence we think, speak, and write; b) the stories we read and watch; c) the way we describe how stories impact us; and d) the critical thinking we do about stories and their impacts. The day 1 prep sheet story is the film Hidden Figures. Maybe we need to help students visualize the ways that language moves through stories like Hidden Figures?
    Notes:
    The text and film list is still to be finalized from the following: Novels and novellas -- 1) Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower; 2) Nnedi Okorafor, Binti trilogy; 3) Ann Leckie, Imperial Radch trilogy; 4) Becky Chambers, Wayfarers trilogy; 5) Martha Wells, Murderbot series; 6) Rebecca Roanhorse, Trail of Lightning; and 7) Cherie Dimaline, The Marrow Thieves. Films -- 1) Hidden Figures; 2) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse; 3) Captain Marvel; 4) Moana; 5) Ocean’s 8; and 6) Wonder Woman.
