Guess Who Game

Discussion:  

1.  Choose one quote.

2.  Describe what this quote MEANS, in your own words

3.  Talk about and list at least 2 ways this quote relates to the guess who game we played.

Lyiscott:  What happens when people feel like they have to erase themselves in order to become a part of some mysterious whole is that we rob each other of the beauty of our differences.  And that's just tragic.

Johnson (p. 12):  More than once, I've been asked to talk about the consequences of social domination, subordination, and oppression without actually saying the words dominant, subordinate, or oppression.  At such times, I feel like a doctor trying to help a patient without ever mentioning the body or naming what's wrong.  We can't get anywhere that way-- and we haven't been.  Our collective house is burning down, and we're tiptoeing around afraid to say "fire."

Delpit (p. 25):   #2.  There are codes or rules for participating in power; that is, there is a "culture of power."  The codes or rules I'm speaking of relate to linguistic forms, communicative strategies, and presentation of self; that is, ways of talking, ways of writing, ways of dressing, and ways of interacting.

Christensen (p. 131):  After viewing a number of cartoons, Kenya scolded parents in an essay, "A Black Cinderella?  Give me a Break."  She wrote:  "Have you ever seen a black person, an Asian, a Hispanic in a cartoon?  Did they have a leading role or were they a servant?  What do you think this is doing to your child's mind?"

 Prepping your Slideshow (20 seconds per slide)

Once you create your presentation in Google Slides, you will need to PUBLISH IT TO THE WEB and set the auto advance timer to 20 seconds.

1. On the home page of your slide show, click "file"
2. on the drop down menu, click "publish to the web"
3. On the pop up, click "start slideshow as soon as the player loads" (don't worry about the timer yet....)
4. copy and paste the shareable link into another place (i put it in my blog as an unedited post)
5. The last part of the link should be a number (the default is 3000, meaning 3 seconds).  Change that to "20000", meaning 20 seconds

Then you want to take that "shareable link" and hyperlink it on your blog so that you can simply click on it when you do your presentation in class.

Remember to practice with your slideshow set to 20 seconds per slide.
