In the honors class today after writing your reflections and wrapping up the essential question discussion we jumped into nonviolent resistance. As table groups you discussed what you discovered and then started to create a poster to demonstrate your knowledge both symbolically and tangibly. Kudos to period six for really stretching their imaginations and coming up with strong, original examples of nonviolent resistance.
We will finish the poster production tomorrow and share the results. We will also discuss the "Nonviolent Resistance" article you are actively reading tonight. Highlight and annotate it to be sure you fully grasp the message.
In the standard class we started our at times slow and painful discussion on the Brown vs. The Board of Education case. Dialogue...conversation...discussion are integral parts of the class and of life. You need to be able to discuss what you've read, what you've researched, what you understand. No one will want to hire (or keep employed) someone who isn't willing to (or can't) share his or her ideas when asked.
Complete the slide homework tonight and be ready to talk tomorrow.
Don't settle for ordinary. Be extraordinary.
See you tomorrow.
