This week we are working on the Beliefs and Biases Essay and starting to research options for the semester long Action Projects. Documents for both of those are linked below.

Today we heard several disturbing statements and recorded our natural responses to them. The culminating assignment was 250 words about our reaction to one of those statements. Check the binder for the specifics and the criteria. Tomorrow we are continuing our investigation into our own beliefs and values.

Here are the terms and concepts we are currently investigating in SJ12...

stereotypes
prejudice
negative attitudes
descrimination
empathy
values
beliefs
ethics

Handed this out on Friday, but we weren't able to do the research due to student passwords not yet working....hopefully will be able to do it this week!

And welcome to SJ12. We are going to have some great fun exploring social justice issues in our community, country and world. Make sure you bring a binder and pens/pencils to class on Wednesday.
