KCC

We continued work on our E.Q. page by adding more bullet-point answers, inserting subheadings for each new information source as we go:  A Brief Lesson on White Privilege (add bullet points from first 4 minutes of the Youtube clip).  Be sure to set up a second, full sheet of paper for a "Intro and Unit 1 Curiosity Questions" page and then add some curiosity questions that came to mind while viewing that Youtube clip -- they can be small, trivial curiosities or deep, profound questions.  By the end of the unit you should have a long list of different types of questions that came to mind that weren't answered by the videos, readings, or other class activities.  In hours 5 & 6 we also added to those pages while viewing the clips from Youtube "Lisa Kudrow's Epic Speech" ( ~2 minutes, from an episode of Scandal in which she is interviewed as a presidential candidate), "Wealth Distribution in America" (6 1/2 minutes with excellent, crisp narration and colorful charts and graphics), and "Hari Kondabolu 2042."  View these to make up the work.  We also took a few notes onto a separate sheet of paper about race, gender, and social class -- copy from a reliable classmate.  (1st hour is a bit behind as a result of picture day.)
