It is always a challenge for me to keep to a tight schedule, especially when I feel a bit of passion about the subject ;-) I apologize for those groups who did not get to present their topic. . .I hope you can read the matrix and participate on the discussion board.
Thanks for all your participation and for being willing to express your ideas and questions, even when they are not the most popular. I want to encourage everyone to push your limits and to step out of your comfort zone when we are having class discussions.
You all have two weeks to get your Spring chapters together. I believe I have at least checked-in with most groups. I will return on Wed, and will be very available by email or phone if you have any questions.
I am also going to embed the matrix from chapter 5 for those who couldn't access the link!

Week 4: What's Your Personal History?
I will add a link to the wiki soon. . .and I promise to get these posted much earlier!!
Phew, I have finished some of the wiki (check out the link on the right!). I want to again thank everyone for their help in getting the material for the wiki together. I will show the wiki in class tomorrow.
In week 4 we also picked groups for the Spring book!! If you look in the discussion board on WebCt, you will see that I have posted everyone's name following the chapter in the Spring Discussion space. . .I think only Anne and Elizabeth need to find their groups.
Reading for week 5: most importantly, Nieto, Chapter 5; also read the Grant and Sleeter chapter from the course reader. We will probably only have time to discuss Nieto, as I will give the groups some time to collaborate.

Week 2: Introduction to Priviledge
Sorry it took me a few days to post this. . .
In class tonight we did two SDAIE activities that helped process the readings for the week. The first activity was a Give One, Get One activity with chapter one from Neito. The second activity was something we can call, Making an Appointment, where we made appointments with peers, then discussed a specific quote or idea from "Black and White," a chapter from Robert Jensen. For some students, tonight was an introduction to white privilege and anti-racism. I hope that everyone was able to grow this evening.
For next week, Tuesday, Sep 9, you should read Neito, chapter 4 and also chapter 2 from Beverly Tatum (which can be found on webCt). We will work with chapter 4, discuss Neito and also the Personal History of Otherness assignment.
Don't forget to post on the discussion board and complete your reading logs!
