Thursday 5/3/2018

I'm not here today. Each class has a little bit of a different assignment so make sure you read the right piece for your class.

11.5 & 11.6 

When we first started our Civil Rights unit, I asked you to complete a writing assignment telling "The Story of the Civil Rights Era" based on your background knowledge only. Many of you found this task frustrated you as it highlighted a lack of knowledge about the period of history. Today you have your chance to show yourself how much your understanding of this period has advanced. The task is to be completed without any support outside of the information you hold in your brain. Please, no talking and do your best - this will count as a grade for Learning Target 2.

For 11.5, once you complete the task, please grab the boards and finish them - these are going to be collected at the end of the day - the fate of our class is in your hands so please finish strong!!

For 11.6, in small groups, please take some time to recap the stories you found when completing your homework. Consider the following questions: How does this story exhibit PROGRESS or LACK OF PROGRESS since the time period we study over these last several weeks? What are your personal reactions to your article? What connections can you make between the articles? Each group should collaborate on a brief (1/2 page or so) summary to recap the discussion you had. Please submit to inbox.

11.2 & 11.4

Please begin by logging in to powerschool. Please note well, the overall grade in the course has not been updated since last grade reports, but assignments have and should be up to date with everything aside from your biography projects. In your two classes, I've noticed, whether due to absence or otherwise, that MANY of you are missing assignments. Today is your "free pass" day to revise or complete assignments from this target that you may have missed. Please do not take this opportunity for granted. The following assignments from this target are the ones you should be making sure are done, and doing your best to remedy the situation if they aren't done.

1) Register to Vote Letter
2) On-Demand Biography Assignment (can be done on paper or typed if no hard copies of the assignment sheet are available - please check with classmates to see prompt)
3) Baldwin Interview notes - video on blog (chart can also be done on paper)
4) Post-Write (documents up front, from Tuesday!)

Wednesday 5/2

Tuesday May Day May Day

Target Timeline

1) Took a survey around our own beliefs about race, racism & current issues relating to race

2) We wrote an on-demand writing about “The Story of Civil Rights” to bring out our background knowledge

3) We looked at school race demographics today in our area

4) We looked at different areas in the US as case studies on segregation around the country

5) We worked on studying Dr. Beverly Tatum’s definition of racism, compared to our own understandings of it

6) Looked at defining what exactly CIVIL RIGHTS are

7) We watched a film from the 1960s about the “Southern Way of Life” and had a look at what types of attitudes people had about African-Americans during that period.

8) We listened to an NPR podcast about REDLINING and how the government forcibly segregated white and black people by determining where they should live.

9) Watched “A Time for Justice” documentary which gave an overview of the major actions of the Civil Rights movement

10)                   We looked a series of documents to help build up our understanding of the Voting Rights Act of 1965

11)                   We then used all of this information to write a letter to a prospective voter, encouraging them to register and vote

12)                   Mr. Galanis’ student teacher Shyanne, helped us look into the role of music and protest songs during the Civil Rights Era and also today

13)                   At this point we started a biographical research project – looking into key individuals who had a major impact during the Civil Rights Movement

14)                   We then looked into the Black Lives Matter movement. We watched a couple of short video clips and then investigated how left-leaning, and right-leaning news sources depicted and wrote about the movement, looking at bias, and talking about what implications that can have on the consumers of news media.

15)                   Next we watched two different documentaries about the Black Panther Party, and why some people remember them in a criminal light, while other celebrate their legacy today.

16)                   During this time a lot of our days were devoted to doing our research and responding to the research questions.

17)                   We then used a video interview with James Baldwin from 1963 to help us bring everything together and reflect back on the different ideologies and leaders during the Civil Rights movement, as well as coming back to the core ideas of America facing it’s racist past and doing something to address the injustice laid upon African-Americans.
