Wednesday, 9/22: Cycle of Socialization Reading and Work Time

Pre-Starter Survey for Tara

  Hi! My name is Tara Whitney, I am a freshman like most of you, and I am running for student council.
 I am really into climate change, animal rights and everyone being included and treated fairly. That’s why I chose to come to Animas. I think everyone feeling respected and feeling like they belong is important! 

Animas is already an amazing school and I’m running for student council to help continue to make sure everyone feels like they belong and their voices are heard!

I wanted to check in and see if you have any good ideas on how we can improve our school, I would love to hear your ideas and not just share my ideas! You can fill out the attached google form or just email me any ideas you have. I hope you’ll vote for me!

Starter #14, 9/22-- Respond to this quote!

"If we just began to appreciate the differences, and treat each other with respect, then everything would be all right, and there would be no oppression"  (Bobbie Harro, "Cycle of Socialization") 

DO YOU AGREE? Why or why not?

"Cycle of Socialization" by Bobbie Harro Reading and Discussion

(Period 3- we need to first read the first 2 pages out loud together)

NOTE: This text is the cornerstone of the project. I had to read it multiple times to fully get the message! Work hard to really understand it. Spend time with it. Ask lots of questions. This is what colleges want- to see you can read complex texts, look up words-- it is a college text! You got this!

​1. Skim through the first 2 pages of the reading we started in class yesterday

• Select what you think the most important line is.  This could be a line that represents the key message of the text so far, or just really conveys the feel of the article.  There is no right or wrong answer.

2. Turn to someone next to you-- come to consensus together as to what the most important line is

3. Now get together with two other people-- come to consensus on the key sentence and then write it on the white board.

4. Explain why you chose that line

Tableau: Human Statues Time!

Acting as tableaus! Each group will take a turn....

• Come up and “tableau”. While the tableau group is still, the audience says what they see. ONLY what they see, not their interpretations.
  
• The group then can come out of the pose. Group 1 must continue to be quiet. 
  
• Ask the class how their pose answered the question based on what they saw. -- Now interpreting the pose
  

** Do not allow the “tableau’s” to correct or to explain their statue. 

• The rest of the groups present with the same protocol as above. 
  

What is oppression? 
With your group, you will create a tableau that answers the question.  You will pose as statues that work together to answer the question. A couple of rules: you cannot use props, you cannot talk while you’re in your pose (but you can talk while you choreograph it), and you must be still (no movement). You will have 10 mins to prepare. Use the time, really think about how to symbolically represent your message.
