Dear class,
A short Wednesday today as we continued our work with Asian American experience. Here's what happened in class:
Learning Targets Addressed:
I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place, or region.
Soundtrack: "Gangnam Style" by PSY. Selected for today because of the growing K-Pop influence! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/2/18:
Check In/Review Agreements
What Can I Do Today?
Asian American Experience
Racial Autobiographies
Homework: Read the blog! Racial autobiography assignment due at the start of next class - printed, please!
----
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.
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!
One new addition to the list is this upcoming event at Southridge High School, honoring and educating about Native American experience.
Asian American Experience: Last class, we read excerpts from "Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White" by Frank Wu. Amazon link here.
We wanted students to breakdown the chapter we assigned last class in terms of what was interesting/noteworthy, then prepare a poster to explain it to the rest of the class. Thank you for your engagement here!
This will be due at the start of next class. We are looking forward to what you bring in! :-)
