Week 6-Wednesday Preparation/Planning

Dear Students,

Thank you for contributing your notecards and for presenting your findings in our Civil Rights Quiz.  Hopefully you had the opportunity to find a children's/young adult book in the library.  

On Wednesday:  

1) We will hear from Colleen Sanders, LBCC's OER Specialist.  What is an OER?  You will find out tomorrow as we learn about textbook access/equity.

2) Here are the articles she will disseminate.  Please glance at them before class:

1. Anger Over Stereotypes in Textbook

2. How history textbooks reflect America’s refusal to reckon with slavery

3. Asked to Delete References to Racism From Her Book, an Author Refused

4. Textbooks worldwide rely on gender stereotypes, report finds

3) We will have a fun quiz in class and then a take home quiz.

See you tomorrow.
