May 4th-8th Supplemental Learning Tasks

I just want to let everyone know that they're doing such a great job keeping up with the blogging assignments. I understand if you are late or a little behind - just do your best. We are all learning on how to manage time through keeping up with all of our classes and expectations. Some of you have such amazing blogs - I'm fortunate to be reading such material.

Please keep in mind that you will be assessing yourself at the end of classes based on the completion of your blog posts and forum posts.

Task 1: Please read PDF pages 57-86. This will take you to the chapter titled "Thanksgiving."

Task 2: Blog Post

Our class novel we are studying is based on the character Junior, who is an example of a voice that has been marginalized. Someone who is marginalized is "othered." In other words, someone who's voice has been silenced, who hasn't been provided with rights, and who does not come from our have privilege.

There are many marginalized voices in our world. Your task this week is to create a blog post on a group of people in our world that have been marginalized. Aim to teach people their history through your writing. It could be a group close to hope, or far away. https://charterforcompassion.org/charter-tool-box-a-framework-for-getting-started/marginalized-populations-treatment-of-people

Explain why the group is marginalized. Explain how their voices have been silenced and how they do not have a certain privilege that the majority of society may experience.

Aim for 500 words.

*Make sure you are reading the class novel. There will be a larger assessment on this later on*
