Next Stop!

Class Activities

We will take time today to share the stories that developed out of last week's interviews.  Let's share these with care, as we know that each person is a sacred universe, one that at its core is mysterious and unnamable. I'd like for the dyads to reconnect and listen to the stories and offer constructive commentary.  After sharing, I'd like for each person to write a one to three  paragraph reflection of the interview, story writing, and sharing experience.

I also want you to share your bus notes as a group.  Your task before the end of class is to create one group report from the notes and observations from our bus trip and subsequent discussion.  I'd like for you to include a graphic (a table, pie chart, or some other visual) that takes into account 2000 Census statistics on your particular section of Calle 8.  Make sure that your report provides more than 'facts'.  Include reasonable interpretation based on the information and observations.  I'd like for you to send me your report.  Include everyone's name on your paper.  Have it to me by Thursday, March 25.

Homework



  1. Determine who is going to review what in your group.  Plan your approach for Tuesday's class.  You will be able to work on your section of the street from 11:15 to 1:00 pm.  We will meet in class at 1:10 pm for a check in.  (I will provide a check-in grade for everyone that makes it back and provides a productive report.) Don't leave class today without planning accordingly with your team.
  2. Read pages 30-45 in Telling True Stories.  Pay close attention; take notes.
