Today, students took a test using Google Forms. I decided to count a short essay about social problems and possible solutions (which was an assignment from last week when I was out) as part of their test grade. Students were allowed to bring 1 sheet of paper with them (most chose to bring the Jeopardy worksheet from yesterday).
HW: develop research question (handouts attached below - I printed the informational PDF with 4 pages on 1, so it would all fit onto 1 sheet with the 5th page as a separate, full-sheet handout on which students could draft their research question(s). Reflection: iPads do not open Google Forms easily. It's choppy when filled out in the email window & often kicked students off. When I used computers for a later period, students accessed the test & completed it fairly seamlessly. Some students said it was fun!

Today, we played Jeopardy to review for our test tomorrow. Here is the Jeopardy link. (You can also click on the image to open the jeopardy game). The attached worksheet has space to write in your answers. *Students can bring ONE piece of paper to the test (my suggestion is to bring this one! Final Jeopardy Question (this WILL be on the test): Choose 1 feminist of color & explain how she would react to the statement below. “It’s time for women. Equal means equal. The truth is the older women get, the less money they make. The highest percentage of children living in poverty are in female-headed households. It’s inexcusable that we go around the world and we talk about equal rights for women in other countries and we don’t,” she said. “It’s time for all the women in America, and all the men that love women and all the gay people and all the people of color that we’ve all fought for to fight for us now.” - Patricia Arquette at the Emmy's, 2015.
If anyone's interested in more information on women's history, or confused about how what we've learned fits into the 3 waves, check out this powerpoint! Some information from this powerpoint will be used in the Bonus section of the test next week! There's a worksheet that goes with it, if you'd like to take notes.
Here's a powerpoint of important historical women. In the notes section below each slide, read the woman's name and a short phrase describing her accomplishments/what she's known for.
Finally, here's the list of vocabulary terms & question topics that will be on the test next week. You will be allowed to take 1-piece of paper (with notes on it, front & back) OR 12 flashcards (front & back) into the test with you, which will be collected after you have finished the test.
Today, students created their own vagina monologues! Agenda
Reflections
Today we read excerpts from Vagina Monologues, addressing how talking about the personal is political and therapeutic and healthy! Agenda

Students struggled with the last lesson, during which they read writings by feminists of color. The high-level academic language prevented students from fully understanding the meaning of the text. Today, we are looking at a strategy students can use when a text is too difficult to understand. Agenda
Reflections
Today's lesson had students read the writings of feminists of color to understand the critiques of the white, middle-class, heteronormative, able-bodied, Western feminist movement. Students chose which woman they were most interested in learning about and collaboratively annotated a segment of her writing. Agenda
Reflections
Day 6 & the first half of Day 7 we watched Iron Jawed Angels. The second half of Day 7 will be discussions about the film. Agenda - Day 6
