Happy First Day of Second Semester!
It was a pleasure seeing you all today in class. Thank you for the discussion centered around bias and how we each see through a lens shaped by our DNA, upbringing, environment and experiences.
You, my lovelies, are the promise.
I, my lovelies, am the alarm.
Let's wake up.
To be clear: My agenda is as such...to teach you how to think WIDELY, CURIOUSLY, RIGOROUSLY.
And that begins with the 100 Strong Book List you were given today. Please come to class on Thursday with titles researched and authors examined. Also come with any titles you'd like to add or even authors you have enjoyed reading.
Tomorrow we will enjoy a TED Talk, Wednesday we are meeting in the back of the library for Articulation, and on Thursday we will decide on a mandatory text and get introduced to one of my "Power to the Packet" packets.
Also, sorry to Period 1. I said I wanted TED Talk notes and such tomorrow. I changed my mind. NO NEED. I will be asking for them in the next couple of weeks though...
Love and Light,
Beltran

ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since the last TED Talk Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteBias is so prevalent in our society, especially our country. It isn't talked about much which makes it even more exciting to discuss in class.
