Please Note: Both Ms. Labossiere and I (Mr. Fritz) were out of class today (we are so sorry!), so this is what we wanted to have happen in our place.
Memorial Day weekend is coming up!
Dear class,
Welcome back to Diversity and Social Justice! Here's what happened in class today:
Welcome back to Diversity and Social Justice! Here's what happened in class today:
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: "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore. Selected for today because a student suggested it in the comments on the blog, and because of the connection to the Gender unit in the lyrics.
AGENDA 5/22/18:
Check-In/Review Agreements
Finish Documentary
Reflection Questions
Final Project Work Time
Homework: Read the blog! Finish your documentary reflection questions! Continue working on your final project - Seniors, your project proposal is due next class!
----
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.
Finish Documentary: Next, we finished the recent National Geographic documentary on Gender. The full film is available to watch on Facebook here, if you are interested:
We had about 28 minutes left to watch in class today. During the documentary, we wanted students to take notes on what they were seeing and how it connected to the vocabulary definitions and questions they had at the start of the unit.
Reflection Questions: After the documentary, we asked students to write a reflection on watching it. The questions were (this is also on Google Classroom for students that wanted to type it):
What was your overall impression of the documentary?
Did you find yourself experiencing discomfort? How so or why not?
What did you learn about gender?
Is there any information you learned that you will be able to use in the future, with your interactions with peers, family, or children?
Final Project Work Time: The end of class was devoted to working on your final project proposals. Seniors, these are due for you next class!
Here is the assignment sheet for those wanting to see an electronic copy:
If you have questions about what you might want to do, please email us and we will be happy to help! Thank you, and see you Thursday!
