- Take 15 minutes to work with your partner(s) to compose a midterm question you would like to answer! The better it is, the higher the odds it will be chosen, so really dig deep.
- Consider what resource(s) will need to be used in order to answer the question.
6. Moodle Forum: Due Sunday by 11:59pm
Using evidence from the readings, the test, and the podcasts, provide a response to the following questions and post to Moodle:
- IMPLICIT BIAS: First, indicate which test you took. How did you feel about the results you received from the Implicit Association Test? Did you think the results were a "fair" or "accurate" measure of any unconscious biases you may have? In what ways do our unconscious biases relate to the ways that race has been constructed in the US (Seeing White podcasts)?
- INTERSECTIONS: What, if anything, surprised you about the intersection of race and dis/ability? What other kinds of intersections do you see that might have been missed by the readings/videos this week?
- 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 PLUS pose one question. 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. After your response, offer at least one ACTION ITEM that the average citizen (e.g., parent, teacher, neighbor) could do to address your concerns for the theme of this week.
Original post should be ~500-750 words.
