We continued our discussion of "The Butler," adding notes about where in the film we saw Symbolic Interactionism -- be sure to record at least two different ways each symbol could be understood. We set up an Essentials Questions page, copying the EQ for the current unit onto it, and then adding bullet-points of possible answers based on what we've done so far. We'll add to this page during the unit so that when it's time to write, we'll already have our "research" accomplished. We also set up an Curiosity Questions page onto which students recorded random questions they have with regard to "30 Days In A Wheelchair" and "The Butler." We'll also add to this page throughout the unit, and at the end, everyone will be assigned to select a few of their questions to research for a skill score. Lastly, we reviewed the 3 sociological perspectives and the thesis of the class to be certain we all feel confident about all of this introductory, core material that will be utilized throughout the semester.
