AGENDA 2/12

Quickwrite: Modern Slavery
Viewing Guide--Modern Slavery: A Global Investigation, part I

HW: For Thursday--read and annotate Kevin Bales' Scientific American article on "The Social Psychology of Modern Slavery" in preparation for a seminar. Also, read Chapter 10 of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, up to page 118, to the sentence "Such was his theory, and such his practice." Seminar preparation for Thursday will be similar to the preparation you did for our seminar on The Crucible--you'll handwrite, photocopy, or type up a meaningful passage from Chapter 10 of Frederick Douglass--feel free to use this link to copy/paste your passage--then either write 4-5 discussion questions OR a 4-5 sentence response paragraph, connecting the ideas in the Douglass excerpt to what you have learned about modern slavery.

Also, for Friday, another Evidence Log and annotated current events article is due--this time connected to worker's issues and rights--unions, negotiations, OSHA, layoffs, strikes, compensation, etc.
