This week I have not been able to read or write very much. Getting everyone set up on Poetry Genius was pretty difficult. I definitely made some mistakes I can learn from next year. I am going to have to do a lot of manual work myself correcting people's album titles and whatnot b/c we can't keep spending lab time on just procedures. I hope doing journals on PG is worth the hassle in setting it all up.

I am looking forward to trying to comment on what my students are reading, however.

If they're reading...

Jay-Z Reflections:

the Magna Carta was basically the founding document leading to the concept and practice of constitutional law.

So maybe Hov is arguing that his album is the foundational document of a new era in hip-hop. #new rules as he put it… as for “holy grail,” which of course is the first track, it’s the allure of success, of riches. It never stops calling, no matter how far you’ve climbed.

So even though Jay is dropping the #new rules of hip hop, the “holy grail” is still as elusive as ever.
