1 RUBRICS (3 of 4) - no joke! |
2 End of 3rd quarter! |
4 What is the What: Consider this year as an event that challenged what you believed: what did you believe? What processes have you used to navigate this year? How did those processes evolve? How were your beliefs challenged? How have they changed? Valentino: His community witnessed a series of events and as a young child he began a process of both survival and coming to terms with violent unraveling of his country. What was his process? What has been your process coming to terms with his story? What were his beliefs? Your beliefs? How were they challenged? How have they changed? |

21 Approach 1: Spend time writing about your boxes. Please consider the following questions/prompts: 1. What do people see when they look at you? Does what they see depend on who they are or the context in which they know you? Explain. 2. Ask someone who knows you (in or outside of this class) to write about what they see on the outside and what they think might be on the inside. 3. What is on your inside? HDYK? What parts of your insides do others know about? HDYK? Is there stuff no one knows? Why/not? 4. Why is this stuff on the inside? Are there risks associated with making the private public? HDYK? 5. What do you need to survive? to feel satisfied? to be happy? to be fulfilled? What happens in the absence of these things? Review what you wrote: do you see any themes or threads that run through it? Are there words that repeat? Highlight them and explain the threads. Approach 2: Dump out the bag you bring to school, sort through the items, why are they there? Pick one item that surprises you that it is there... draw it and then write about it... what do you already know about this object (or think you know); what don't you know about this object? Why can't you bring yourself to throw this thing away? You can do the same thing with items in your room... What is so important to you that you carry it with you? |

23 This I believe about... Valentino the Sudan refugees persistence survival What is your understanding of these things? What is your understanding of the text? How has your understanding of these things been challenged? Has it changed? How/why? Demonstrate an interaction with the text - not just a concept from the text (i.e. "justice"). Consider elements about how the story is told, truth, characters, history... how does the construction of What is the What affect your reading and understanding of the text and the events the text is considering? We did not require you to read the CNN website, to watch television news broadcasts, to read the NYT; we did not provide you a textbook on African history. How, then, did the manner in which you read and learned about the topics and issues listed above affect your understanding and beliefs? |
25 No, we haven't stopped working on your boxes... multi-task! Remember, you started with Valentino's box... how did your beliefs about him, the text, the Sudan, Africa, refugees, persistence, survival, human needs influence the choices you made about him and his box? How do these beliefs influence the decisions you are making about your own box? |

23 Consider this year as an event that challenged what did you believe: what did you believe? What processes have you used to navigate this year? How did those processes evolve? How were your beliefs challenged? How have they changed? Tyson: His community (Oxford, NC) witnessed an event and as a young adult began a process to come to terms with both the event and the evolution of our national conscience regarding race relations. What was his process? What has been the nation's process? What were his beliefs? Our beliefs? How were they challenged? How have they changed? |

30 DRAFT DUE You know the expectations of this class. You know the standard to which you are being held. MAKE A CHOICE. Live up or get out of the way. This is about YOU and only YOU so stop looking around the room for the culprits that have caused "Intervention II, The Return of Bad Cop" If you aren't going to read, write, research, etc. when and to the extent that is expected, get out of the way of the rest of your group members and accept the consequences for your decisions. So...take a moment to consider what you are doing and write a contract for yourself. Then, WE HAVE WORK TO DO! (chapters 2&3) |
