I handed out a bunch of things today, including a reading on Andrew Jackson. You are tasked with reading pgs 189-192 (the first 4 pages of the packet) and taking notes in Cornell Note format.
Handouts, including a refresher on how to take Cornell Notes, can be found here.
For the students (there are only 1-2 that this may apply to) who will NOT be in class on Friday, tomorrow, here is the quote I'd like you to respond to in essay form. Please do not spend more than 20-30 minutes on this prompt, and please send me your response via e-mail:
Martin Luther King was an activist trying to create a better world. He once wrote, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Write a short response to this quote (no more than a page and/or something that could be read aloud in 1-2 minutes) reacting to these questions:
1. What do you think this quote means?
2. If Dr. King were visiting WMS, what do you think he might see as "threats to justice"? In other words, what might he see as areas we need to improve on in terms equality, fairness, assumptions we make, and how people are treated.
