I wanted to host an activism panel in which groups and individuals came in to talk about activist strategies with students. However, posting a list of people I may have invited into the school may actually be more effective in a couple of ways. 1) People may be more likely to help over the phone or when discussing a particular project with a group that has already developed (or is in the process of developing) their vision. 2) It gives students ownership over the process of reaching out. They can choose who they want to contact and take the initiative themselves...something I have been trying to push this year! Below is a list of resources (people/groups to call) by community.

Today's lesson introduced students to 4 methods of data collection: interview, survey/opinion poll, observation journal, and mapping through the use of stations. Agenda
Reflections
I just came across this article & want to share, as it mirrors many of the topics my students were researching for their analytical papers! This article also discusses a common topic in student papers - pay equity. 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.

Obama recorded a message that was played during the Grammy's last night, which relates to the topics of gendered violence my students have been studying. Here it is!
What is service learning?
For my class, I want to have an "Activist Afternoon," where I invite experts in activism in to talk to my students & engage them in conversation about activist methods. *This will be BEFORE they begin their research-based service learning projects.
The following resources complete the list of topics my students have chosen for their research projects. |
