Diversity. Project blog

Hey Scholars-
Sounds as though you got a lot accomplished after I left on Wednesday! I am hoping to get some clarity and a better idea of what YOU think we are doing.  So, please use the blog to let me know what you personally are planning on doing to contribute to this project.  Both as part of your group and as an individual.

I want to be clear that I expect for each of you to visit St Vincent and meet with a youth there at least twice before the project is completed.

On Wednesday, we can finalize ideas and plans...but we will NOT be asking you to work on art projects while you are all dressed up.  So NEXT week we will work on the boxes or cards you decided to use for the donations and inspirational quotes.

Clear?  Please let me know your understanding of what YOU are doing, and what WE are doing as a class/community.

Thanks and see you all spiffy on Wednesday!

Diversity and DRESS FOR SUCCESS next week!!

Thank you ALL for the great brainstorming on our diversity project this week. Please be sure you let your classmates who were not there know what they missed. I am hoping we get some good information for next week so we can move forward into the planning and action stages.  Please be thinking about how YOU can contribute....and what inspiration you can give to a disenfranchised youth.  Maybe we do a movie for them? Art project? Maybe we make several smaller group visits instead of one large group visit?  That almost seems better to me.  Be thinking so we can discuss.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...NEXT WEEK IS DRESS FOR SUCCESS. YOU MUST COME TO CLASS DRESSED PROFESSIONALLY....INTERVIEW ATTIRE.  We will have a guest speaker and a mini fashion show.

So, blog for this week to keep you in the right mindset....



Have you ever felt discriminated against?  Tell me what happened and how you handled it?  What did you take away from that experience?

What three positive things would your last boss say about you and what three things might your boss say that you need to work on?  If you have never had a job what three things would your favorite teacher say about you and what would they say you needed to work on and why?

Are these the same things YOU think about yourself or are they different?
