5/18 - Class Recap


There were lots of interesting posts about gendered items while shopping from last semester. This one is from Lauren Y., who spotted this "Lady Camo Bomber Hat" for $27.49.

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to the blog! I (Mr. Fritz) was out today, so here is what happened with Ms. Labossiere in class:

Learning Targets Addressed:
I can communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.
I can apply understanding of ideas and concepts to a new context or problem.
I can demonstrate an understanding of the role of governments in current issues.
I can effectively conduct and apply research.

Soundtrack: "I've Got a Woman" by Ray Charles. Selected for today because of the gender stereotypes in the lyrics.

AGENDA 5/17/18:
Check-In/Review Agreements
What Can I Do Today?
Gendered Products
Documentary

Homework: Read the blog! Find gendered products and post them in Google Classroom!
----
Check In/Review Agreements: At the beginning of class, we went over the Courageous Conversations Agreements, as always, to begin our work together for the day. After checking in, we talked for a bit about what is happening in the world outside of class, before moving on.

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!

Gendered Products: We talked about this last class. The assignment for the weekend is to try and find gendered products. Try and train yourself to see the ways in which we "gender" society in these sorts of ways.

Documentary: The rest of class was devoted to finishing the recent National Geographic documentary on Gender. To watch the trailer for the documentary, click here:


During the documentary, we wanted students to take notes on questions that came up for them as a part of watching. This was it for class today! Thanks everyone - see you next week!
