Class Routines, Syllabus, and More About Perspectives - August 26, 2014

In class today, we're going to review my course syllabus and talk about general expectations for class routines, behavior, and the like.  You'll find that most of what you need to know is covered by common sense and consideration for others.  You've all been members of classroom communities for several years, and aside from a few specific rules that are unique to my class, it's the usual routine.  Therefore, you all can and should be able to meet these expectations.

Moving on from behavior to content, today we are also going to discuss a hypothetical (imaginary) situation that may be one you've experienced, or maybe not.  We'll use it as a springboard to discuss the theme of perspective, which is a critical part of our work this year.  Tomorrow we'll continue these discussions in your groups and as a class.  Don't forget to be working on your personal stories!  They are due Thursday - the link to the handout is posted on yesterday's link.  The course syllabus, if you want it, is posted below.
