DAV Public School Reflection on Engaging and Theory Discussion

 

I’m working on a blog post question and need support to help me learn.

Read the chapters 1 and 2

Look through the Prezi slides without narration for review (optional)

Prezi Chapter 1:

Prezi Chapter 2:

Do the assigned reading and then write a detailed response using the prompts below.

Read CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 in Is Everyone Really Equal.

DIRECTIONS: For each reflection assignment (there are 7 total) you will choose ONE of the following choices  to complete as a way to share your knowledge and insights. Each time you write a reflection you will choose a DIFFERENT choice, so by the end of the 7 reflections, you will have done each choice once (except the open category which will repeat one of them). 

Any order is fine. 

Here are your 7 choices:

1. Comic Strip: Draw an original comic strip that highlights a key concept from the chapter. 

2. Painting: Find a painting or photograph that exemplifies a poignant insight from the chapter. 

3. Poetry/spoken word/rap: Write an original poem/rap or spoken word piece that responds to the issues in the chapter. 

4. Music: Create a playlist with three songs that you feel bring the reader of your blog into the emotion of the injustices that are occurring as highlighted in the chapter.

5. Movie/TV episode: Capture a clip from a movie or TV episode that illustrates one of the key points in the chapter. Respond to the clip accordingly. Meaning, is the clip exemplifying the oppressive aspects in society or is it an example of someone fighting oppressive systems? Respond in kind in your blog.

6. Spotlight on a person: Feature a short biography of an inspirational figure in history that can be looked to as a role model for fighting systemic oppression. Go beyond the ones most people know. Find the unsung heroes/heroines and bring them to life. 

7. Open category: You choose how you want to bring the concepts in the chapter to your reader’s attention in a provocative way. 

After each choice please respond to the following (as outlined in the rubric). 

1. Essential Concepts: (this part is more detailed than the other two parts and longer) Explain how your choice (song, poem, painting) illustrates AT LEAST THREE key concepts in the chapter. IN THIS CASE DO YOUR REFLECTION ONLY ON CHAPTER 2’S MATERIAL. 

IMPORTANT: ***Each of the three concepts should be explained in detail (at least one thorough paragraph for each concept in this section). Use your artifact as a springboard to talk about the key concepts and how the world would be different if these issues were addressed. (For instance if you chose a particular painting, you would highlight how three different aspects of the painting related to three different key ideas in the text.)

2. Relation to Self and Other: What insights or realizations did you have about yourself and others reading the chapter? This may include insights about your own perceptions, biases, prejudices, historical knowledge, family of origin, social or emotional intelligence–or that of another. This should also be a thorough and thoughtful paragraph. 

3. Link to Future Career: How is understanding this knowledge useful to who you want to become professionally? How does it help you be a more powerful leader and advocate? Be specific. NOTE: The question for #3 will change for each reflection so make sure you are answering the right question. 🙂
