EWRT1A-09: grammar review 1 and Malcolm X

Here is grammar review 1. Either print it out or write your answers on another sheet of paper.

A few of you haven't been able to get the book yet. Here is a link to Malcolm X's "Learning to Read."

On page 68 of our reader, Malcolm X states: "many who today hear me somewhere in person, or on television, or those who read something I've said, will think I went to school far beyond the eighth grade." If you've never heard Malcolm X speak before, then you may not understand why this would be true. So here is a famous speech Malcolm X gave at Oxford in 1964. As you listen to it, remember that he is almost entirely self-taught.
