1. Listened to a podcast called Radical Dharma by Rev. angel Kyodo williams - a black queer female Zen priest (a very unusual combination) 
2. Read an article called Entering the Bardo by Joanna Macy

My goal was ALSO to have them take the material and talk about it ... formulate their own opinions and share in a discussion.  To prepare - they had to read and  1. summarize her talk/vision/work in 6-8 sentences. 2. give their opinion/response in 2-4 sentences. 3. prepare two discussion questions that evaluate, apply, or create - see slide 15 … these should reflect something about you and your life relating to the material

Discussions went really well in most groups (ha - I caught one kid sleeping in one group).  They were pleased with themselves b/c conversations were meaningful and interesting. ]]> 2020-10-08 17:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jtracy2/ei39s7vbju1xr5rk/wish/814852139 klevesque4 https://padlet.com/jtracy2/ei39s7vbju1xr5rk/wish/1089647453 I teach my students about credit cards in Financial Algebra.  They are usually very interested in this topic but vary widely in their prior knowledge.  This webquest would allow them to learn what a credit card is and the pros and cons of using credit cards.
