Week 4 Monday - Today we will be looking at political cartoons and identifying various stereotypes that exist in each. Tuesday - It's time
for a nice discussion. Here is the prompt:
Some people describe the United States as a
melting pot (different cultures were being poured into a giant pot called
America, heated to a low boil and molded into one kind of person, an American)
while others believe we are a tossed salad (The English are lettuce, Germans as
radishes, Italians as tomatoes and so on and so forth making a giant salad. All
different kinds of fruits and vegetables tossed together in a bowl to create one
dish. Everything in close quarters of each other, but still separate and
individual). Following our discussion we will review for the exam on Lab Day. Lab Day- We have a very busy period today. We will start the day with your first unit exam. After your exam, I will do a lecture on industrialization. Before I begin you will create a chart with 2 columns. The first column will be labeled Pros and the second column will be labeled Cons.
