Speaking Against Discrimination

On Wed. 7th, Mar. and Thurs. 8th, Mar. we looked at the Wars of Religion that occurred in Europe during the 1500s. We then attempted to relate what was happening then with what happens in the Untied States today. We discussed discrimination, bullying, and judging others who are perceived as different from us. After our discussion we looked at a couple of videos that illustrate this concept.

If you were absent you will need to do the following:

1) Download the packet and answer the first six questions on your own:

Assignment: Speaking Against Discrimination

2) Then watch the two video clips and afterwards answer the questions about each one in the packet.

EXAMPLE 1: Discrimination in America Against Muslims

EXAMPLE 2: Discrimination Against Latinos in America

3) For part three, you do not yet have to finish your poster; however, you should design a rough sketch so you can begin working on this poster next time in class. You should look at your notes from last time along with what you learned today and develop a poster that meets the requirements of the instructions and illustrates the concept of discrimination across time periods.

Thanks.
