Welcome Back !

After some welcome back conversation and reminders (blogs, outside reading, civic engagement) we'll begin thinking about our new unit.
With sexual harassment and sexual assault continuing to dominate our news (from last year's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, the Bill Cosby case, as well as stories from many of our other major industries with much of it fostered by the #MeToo movement that began on Facebook), it's important to understand these issues and discover the places where we may confront them.

While we examine both topics, our unit will contain two major assessments. The first will be a portfolio of your writings and reflections about a number of different articles and activities that will serve to help you become aware of the significance of these issues.  The portfolio will be assessed both for completion and quality. Here is the rubric that I will use to assess the quality of your portfolio work: Portfolio Rubric 2020.

We'll begin our unit with the topic of sexual harassment. The chart below will be the first entry in your portfolio. Here are your instructions:
  • Read this definition of sexual harassment and this list of actions that may possibly constitute sexual harassment. Discuss with your partners.
  • Then, using those definitions, go through these scenarios and fill out the chart as you go. The most efficient way to do this is to have two chromebooks open; one with the scenarios and one with the chart. Share the chart with all members of your group.
  • Make sure that you put all of your partners' names at the top of the chart.
