9/13 HW/Review

Scholars, your HW this weekend is to read to page 73 of "Mexican Whiteboy" and to annotate. We will begin using the text in class next week, so make sure you are up to date.  This Tuesday during lunch is the last chance to reassess your Sociology quiz.   Look at "reassessment policy" under the class handouts to know what is expected.

Review:  Today in class we
--Had an hour-long student-led and organized debate on the legal drinking age in the US.  Both formats worked very well in each class; good job to the groups that created those debate protocols.  We'll try and integrate these debates into our class perhaps once a month as the year unfolds.
 --Had student pictures taken
--Finished the class with independent work-time.

On Monday I will not be in class; Rachael from College Advising will give a presentation to each class, and then she will meet individually with students while everyone works on completing a project that Rachael will hand out to you about the history of social identities in the US.
 Happy Weekend!

Antiquated word of the week:  "Snoutfair", which, strangely enough, means "an exceedingly good-looking person" in old English.
