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 also asked what students were up to outside of class since the last time we checked in.
During this time, we talked about a recent post on social media and some statistics regarding crime rates and undocumented immigrants. This link helps explain a bit:
What Can I Do Today?: We also asked students if there was anything they wanted to add to the "What Can I Do Today?" poster up at the front of the room, in terms of actions outside of class. We also noted that the list is live on the blog here on the upper right corner, with links!
Immigrant High: We finished this shorter (we had about 3 minutes left in class) documentary from PBS called "Immigrant High" about a high school in New York City:

Stereotypes and Statistics: To end class, we split up the class into three smaller groups and went through this lesson (adapted from a PBS resource connected to the Latino American documentary episode we watched last week):
This was on Google Classroom for students to run through (each small group was then further split up into five smaller groups to do the different activities).
We ended class with this activity today and will return to it next class! Thanks, everyone!
