7. Next Week...
Moodle Blog Post: Due Sunday by 11:59pm
- What are some of the ways that students experience schooling that may be hidden to their teachers or the average citizen? And what, if anything, should we do about that? In your response, consider how the experiences of undocumented students are similar or different from students who are Muslim. Develop a response that draws from the concepts in all five of the resources you have read/viewed this week. 500-750 words.
- Read and respond to AT LEAST ONE other member of your family on this week's Moodle post. In order to promote greater dialogue, choose to EITHER challenge a comment they made OR extend their idea further. THEN, pose one question to them. No word count is absolutely required, but a minimum of 4-5 sentences is probably necessary when responding to another member. To be clear, you will EITHER Challenge & Pose a Question OR Extend and Pose a Question. Remember our conversation about how our words affect others and give some thought to how you want to articulate your response and promote brave spaces.
