We had another productive day. After we corrected our daily grammar, we completed a preposition review. My second group also completed the Babe Ruth reflection. We read a passage about him and students identified facts from the text that showed how he expressed himself and influenced others.
We continued working on finding text evidence by examining an excerpt from the Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. DuBois. We discussed the concept of double consciousness and what it meant in a historical sense. We then finished our discussion about women and economics. Overall, some aspects of these readings are difficult to stomach. I know it's not fun to learn about inequality and struggle; however, the students have open minds and are interested in looking at the world through a lens of honesty.
We concluded our time together by starting our 1920s economic notes. As a reminder, homework is due tomorrow.
Here are today's notes about double-consciousness and Women & Economics. I've included the notes from both classes.
