Our Order of Events
  1. Jonathan will present his theme unit since he didn't get a chance to do that last week.
  2. We will have a writing activity in class about futures and dreams based on today's CNV Institute (see slideshow at the left).
  3. CHAT: What are your plans for your final digital project?  Will you create a website tab for this class/anti-racist pedagogies or a 3-5 minute video introduction + your syllabus?
  4. Update us on the final theme/ focus of your syllabus.  What questions do you have?  What do you have left to do (it is due next week).
  5. For those who are interested, you can stay on zoom longer while I do a demo about weebly for you.
  • I am canceling the theme unit project and just wrapping that into the syllabus project (since the final syllabus will require a calendar of activities).  You will see that project is automatically credited points from today's RR on D2L.
  • Please check D2L.  If I have not scored something from RR #1-11, then I couldn't access it.  Please send me a new link.
  • November 24: Your syllabus is due on this day of class.  Put it in your google folder.  Give it a cover and an interesting set of opening pages.  Plan to share these opening pages in class.  Bring a glass of something to drink to class too--- yall grown so yall decide what that will be. [NOTE: I hear the new apple Crown Royal is good.  You may see me with a purple bag that day... it ain't gon be toiletries!]
  • December 1: Your final digital project is due.  For this, you need to add a new tab to an existing website.  For those who do not have websites, use this week of class to build that out.  Yup, create it NOW!  (This course website uses weebly.)  You do not have to go public yet but you must absolutely start building out your website NOW.  You have a choice here.  #1: Build out a main page that has at least two subpages--- or some such structure--- that highlights your overview/reflection of anti-racist pedagogies along with 2-3 RRs. #2: Create a webpage that houses a video introduction to your syllabus and then upload your syllabus there (perhaps as a flipbook).  There is no class this day.  Email me a link to your webspace.
Examples for Final Digital Project: Website or Syllabus Video
