Today in class, we continued talking about the different roles people have in stories regarding social justice work.

Dear class,

Welcome back to the blog! Here's what happened today in class:

Learning Targets Addressed:
Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Explains the process of change and continuity in a society, place or region.

Soundtrack: “i" by Kendrick Lamar. Selected for today by Paysen, who pointed out that the song discusses discrimination. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 2/26/18:
Check In/Review of Four Agreements & Six Conditions
Acting for Justice
Story
Narrative Writing

Homework: Read the blog! Turn in your Where I'm From Poem if you have not already!  Post a comment if you have not.
---
Check In/Review of Four Agreements & Six Conditions: Here are the Courageous Conversations Agreements. We will always review this at the beginning of class, as it sets the foundation for how we want class to approach the issues we are studying. We checked in about the weekend and what people were up to, before moving on.

Acting for Justice: This was the handout that students worked last class with Ms. Labossiere on:


Today in class, we reviewed the terms and definitions students created last class.

Story: Next, I read another story ("The Music Lesson") to students as we analyzed the piece. What role did the narrator take? Who was the target? Perpetrator? These were all notes on the Acting for Justice worksheet.

Narrative Writing: The rest of class was spent telling the stories that students identified in their own personal lives, last class. Here is the assignment, which we would like a paper copy of next class period to edit and share:


That was it for class today! Thanks for your continued hard work and engagement. See you on Thursday!
