Learning Goals: to delve deeper into what anthropology is and its schools of thought as well as focus our attention on creating a more concrete vision of how we will be meeting the reading expectation. Finally, we will be considering how we are explicitly meeting the expectations of the writing strand.
1. Reading Discussion
-> now that we have all brought in what we are reading or what we want to read, how are we going to demonstrate the curriculum expectations while still maintaining a love of reading?
2. Writing Expectations Discussion
1. Developing and Organizing Content: generate, gather, and organize ideas and information to write for an intended purpose and audience;
2. Using Knowledge of Form and Style: draft and revise their writing, using a variety of literary, informational, and graphic forms and stylistic elements appropriate for the purpose and audience;
3. Applying Knowledge of Conventions: use editing, proofreading, and publishing skills and strategies, and knowledge of language conventions, to correct errors, refine expression, and present their work effectively;
4. Reflecting on Skills and Strategies: reflect on and identify their strengths as writers, areas for improvement, and the strategies they found most helpful at different stages in the writing process.
-> first few blogs: can we make this intentional where you show me definitively how your blogs represent each expectation?
-> how do we make this visible?
-> how can you make these expectations second nature? (ie that you will be doing them without thinking about them)
3. Weekly video group schedule
-> start brainstorming, planning, and filming for your video
4. Schools of Thought in Cultural Anthropology:
Cultural Relativism
Functional Theory
Cultural Materialism
Feminist Anthropology
Postmodernism
-> in a small group you are going to define your group's term and either find or think of a way to explain it other than reading the definition (you are of course welcome to access your resources as long as you credit your sources)
-> I would recommend you create a gdoc for your group and then share your thinking with others
-> everyone in the group needs to be accountable as you are going to do a jigsaw where you will be the "expert" and teach your peers
5. Now that you have thought about the different branches of anthropology, think about the website Humans of New York. Take some time and read through a few stories. As you're reading, think about what an anthropologist would say about this collection of voices.
