Upcoming dates and assignments to note:
- Th 10/10 at midnight: The "Race and Social (In)justice" Google Drive document is due (just have it completed; no need to print it)
- Th 10/10 - M 10/14: Read three pieces of fiction related to gender issues: Kincaid's "Girl," Piercey's "Barbie" (both poems), and Chopin's "Desiree's Baby" (a short story). Students will receive a class handout which they should complete during/after reading
- Th 10/10: Last day to submit Native American handout for 10% off; beginning F 10/11, it's 50% off ("discounts" in education, unlike the marketplace, are not good...)
- F 10/11: Unit 2 vocab quiz
- M 10/14 - F 10/18: Discuss the literary analysis paper, students select one of three focuses (culture, race, or gender), and begin preliminary steps of scaffolding, modeling, organizing, and conceptualizing the paper
- See the first 10 pages of the handout for help with the preliminary planning/organizing process
- Also, remember that when beginning to organize your thoughts, don't just consider what inequality is presented in the texts, but consider how the inequality impacts one of the following areas/elements of a person's life:
- emotions
- sense of hope and possibility (economic, goals, life to be better)
- relationships, view of others
- moral (does the world's morality--sense of right and wrong--seem fair or just?)
- psychological/mental state
- sense of identity
- sense of belonging
- Here are some good terms to keep in mind as well:
- prejudice, discrimination, oppression, rejection, alienation, stereotypes, gender roles, exclusion, invisibility
- Click here for a modeled version of the organizational chart on page 7 of the packet. The first page of the doc is a simplified, phrasal version of the full chart on the second page.
- Click here for a blank version of the chart on page 7 in case you want to type your responses.
- F 10/18: Unit 3 vocab quiz
Here are all of the texts for the unit, separated by focus/group:
