3 September

Hope you enjoyed your 3 day weekend

Do now: Make sure you are sitting where you did Friday. Make sure you filled out a handbook sign-off card.

Dr. King debrief ( I need 1 or 2 people to hand back the paper from Friday)

Cell phone policy

Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream Speech”

#1 He is describing the U.S.A. as an unpleasant place to be for African Americans in 1963. Compares segregation to slavery.

#2 Tone – You guys did a pretty good job describing his tone; however, I would not have described it as ‘happy’

#3 Who was his audience? Simply the 250,000 people there? Only the people that supported him? The entire United States? Those that opposed desegregation?

Continued # 4: His message was to immediately end

segregation…no “gradualism” #5: Anyone think that he didn’t get his point across

clearly? #6: Transformational change? The Civil Rights Act of 1964, enacted July 2,

1964, is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States[1] that outlawed major forms of discrimination against racial, ethnic, national and religious minorities, and women.[2] It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public (known as "public accommodations").

Cell phone policy Roughly, 67% of the groups focused on revising the

school’s cell phone policy.

Today, you are going to offer a proposal for the alternation of the school’s cell phone policy.

You are to brainstorm at least 3 ways to make the policy better.

Getting rid of the policy is not an appropriate suggestion.

You must think why we have the policy in the first place.

Policy states

Pg. 48 (b) “Possession of unauthorized pagers or cellular telephones will result in disciplinary action. Such pagers and cellular telephones will be confiscated.”

Our ultimate goal is to draft a persuasive class letter to submit to Principals Golden and Brown, in hopes of revising this policy.
