We watched the documentary 13TH today in class, as we continue looking at race in America.
Dear class,
Thanks for checking in on the blog! Here's what happened today in class today:

AGENDA 3/9/18:
Check In/Review of Four Agreements & Six Conditions
Collect Writing for Justice
Watch 13TH
Homework: Read the blog! Turn in your Writing for Justice narrative if you have not yet.
---
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.
Collect Writing for Justice: This was a process that we have been working on the past couple of weeks. Students turned in their revised Writing for Justice pieces for grading. If you did not turn this in during class, please do so ASAP. Thank you!
Watch 13TH: The rest of class was spent watching the documentary 13TH, which exposes how the 13TH Amendment (outlawing slavery, but creating a loophole for convicts to work for the government) has impacted American society.
The quote that Ms. Labossiere wanted students to note down and see how the film investigates is: "Racism is built into the DNA of America. And as long as we turn a blind eye to the pain of those suffering under its oppression, we will never escape those origins."
The documentary is available to watch on Netflix, here:
