Potential SL Final Project Groups

Here are the groups we were working on today... I expect they will shift as the projects develop.  Feel free to move around over the next week as you figure out what primary connection works best for you.

Remember:  Each person needs three authors.  Each group needs one author in common.

Herbert Kohl -- I won't learn from you...

Here is the text for Kohl's, I Won't Learn from You.  The quality isn't great.  Feel free to google and let me know if you find anything cleaner!

Reading for April 2

Greetings from California...  I am "home" in LA visiting my family for Passover.  It is 65 and sunny here, but I hear you are having a spring weekend in PVD as well.  Hope you get a few minutes to enjoy some sunshine.

The reading for this week is all about Brown vs. the Board of Education, the supreme court ruling that desegregated American public schools, and the current political climate around race in a post-Obama age.  It is all online -- a website, a short article, and two videos.

CLICK HERE for the post that gives you access to all of them.

We will spend a good part of Tuesday working on the SL project, forming groups and answering questions. Because of this, we are only going to have one day to talk about everything you read here, so try to be thorough on your blog -- this is a good week to do a connections blog entry because there is so much going on across the different texts.

See you Tuesday!
