To recap:
Check In/Review of Four Agreements & Six Conditions: We will always do this at the beginning of class, as it sets the foundation for how we want class to approach the issues we are studying. We also discussed the most recent school shooting in Florida for a while. We said we would post this article for everyone to see, as we want students to feel like there are actions that can be taken: NYTimes.com - How to Reduce Shootings.
Small Groups/Present: Last class, we started going through the "White Fragility" article by Robin DiAngelo. In today's class, we split the rest of the reading up into smaller sections for groups to read and then report out on, as we continued our look at the role of "Whiteness" in our society as a concept.
The small groups were reading, annotating, discussing, and creating a 1-page summary that was shared with the class.

Thank you for your work today! We will keep at it on Wednesday when we will have a Socratic Seminar. See you then! Enjoy your long weekend!
Hey Mr Fritz, I am going to miss the socratic seminar tomorrow because I’m getting my wisdom teeth out, is there a way I can make it up?
