U.S. History

Students worked with their TPS partners to discern (and write down) the claim from the 15-minute clip on Friday ("The Target"); we also viewed the Oprah clip (see Friday post) and students id'd the claim, as well.  The primary in-viewing assignment is to jot notes/evidence to help answer our current EQ, but we also pause to id the claim of each source.  We also viewed the first 4 minutes of the Youtube video by Dennis Trainor Jr and Acronym TV called "A Brief History of White Privilege" while writing evidence and the claim.  Moving onto the second part of our EQ, we viewed a clip from the TV show "Scandal" in which Lisa Kudrow's character gives a performance as presidential candidate speaking about gender. (Note evidence for EQ and the claim.)
