World History

We discussed (and edited on our note page) the thesis of Rabbit-Proof Fence.  Make a note on your CQ page to beward Keith Windshuttle, as his writing often comes up when Googling the film and he has what we would typically consider "expert credentials"; however, scholars have dismissed his arguments as akin to Holocaust-denial...Even the official website of the Australian Government recognizes the Stolen Generations tragedy.  Collaborate with classmates to discern E.Q. notes from the film.  We read the article about the pot of tea while adding E.Q. notes and C.Q.s and we also discussed the term "agency" from our intro unit with regard to Molly, her mother, and the couple who paid for the pot of tea.  Finally, transfer relevant notes from the movie page to the new note page handout of Communal trends, and continue adding notes to that new trends page while reading the two assigned articles -- "Intro" for everyone and then one of the four remaining articles.  (We'll collaborate later to share the information with each other from the various articles.)
