ESSAY:
“A Talk to Teachers” by James Baldwin, 1963*
* While the essay title addresses teachers, this work has themes that can apply to all professions.
Select two creative works from the following disciplines (each work must be from a different discipline):
• Two-dimensional visual art (e.g., painting, photography, or printmaking)
• Music
• Film (feature film or documentary)
Note: Please do not select a film, artistic, or musical adaptation of your literary choice as one of the non-literary creative works. While it is important to select a
literary work and two non-literary works that share a common theme, it is equally important to include variety in your choices. For example, you should not choose The
Great Gatsby as your literary work and a film adaptation of this same novel, and a picture of Jay Gatsby.
