Why black girls are targeted for punishment at school - and how to change that: Monique W. Morris

STEP 2
Answer three of the five free-response questions by making a new post in the corresponding question column. Which questions you answer are up to you. Please write at least 5 sentences (it's okay to write more).

STEP 3
For the two questions you did not choose, you will need to post three kinds of comments on your peers' posts (only one comment per post, you will leave a total of six comments of at least 50 words). Tag your comment with A, B, or C (2 of each) according to the type of comment:

COMMENT A - Connect:
Tie an answer from one of your questions to the answer in the post you're commenting on. How do the themes in your answers relate? How could they develop upon each other? Include the number of the question you used in your response.

COMMENT B - I Learned:
Find a post from one of your peers that made you think about this topic differently or introduced you to a new viewpoint. How did their answer further develop your understanding? Be specific about what you learned, but also elaborate on how it differs from your original perspective.

COMMENT C - Filling Gaps:
Find a post from one of your peers that differs from your answer on this topic. Respectfully offer some information that you think they may not have considered, maybe information that helped you think of the answers to the questions you chose.

EXTRA RESPONSES
You are free to add comments outside of the ones required by these instructions. For any extra comments, please place "EXTRA COMMENT" before your response text. This is just for my grading purposes.

REMINDER
This assignment is meant to make you think critically and expand upon your understanding and empathy for others. As such, no hateful language, attitudes, or slurs will be tolerated. Focus on how you and your peers can co-exist and learn from each other.]]> 2019-02-23 20:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/A_Flahaut/techformativeassessment/wish/334478691 Why do you think Dr. Morris includes a personal anecdote at the beginning of her TED Talk?
