Welcome to the first posting of my Teaching Diverse Populations' blog. Each of you will create blogs to post your weekly reflections for the class.
You are responsible for writing weekly journal
entries that respond to course readings, classroom activities, and other
learning experiences related to the class such as the service learning project with Lowell Community Health Center's Teen Coalition. You should view the text as a starting point of conversation and
reflective practice. You can make connections to the text by asking yourselves:
1.
How is the text that I am reading connected to what I
experienced personally as a student (i.e., in K-12 system and/or college)?
2. How is the text related to my work as an educator?
3. Are my experiences similar or different from what I
have read?
4. Does the text remind me of any other literature that I
have read in the past?
5. Is the information challenging or reaffirming my
background knowledge?
6. How is the topic that we are reading and discussing in
class connected to the larger community (e.g., in my hometown, U. S. or global
community)?
7.
What questions does the text provoke?
I look forward to reading your blogs.
Happy Blogging!

ReplyDeleteProfessor Uy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending the link to CNN article. I enjoyed reading it and it gave answers to some of my questions. I wondered why people thought of racism when America has had its first non-white president. Racism still prevails at social level. I can feel sometimes when I see the students of African decent that they are wounded. There is no way of letting things out. And as troubled teens they want attention. Personally I didn't experience racism or atleast not in a blatant form. There are degrees of racism and people have different perceptions for the term racism.
