    1. Mar 20: Digital Projects

      Found this very affirming and helpful. Seeing everyone's documents, and their interpretation/analysis of the documents allowed me to easily understand the widespread impact of the Civil Rights movement. Also made it fun to work in groups, rather than on your own.

    2. Feb 14: MOCA visit

      I think our MOCA visit, and the Student-led discussions were the activities I found most confusing. I'm not an art guy, it's just an art form that doesn't appeal to me. I didn't see a connection between MOCA and our classroom, and just overall, thought the museum was forgettable. The student-led discussion was also confusing. I think mostly because as students, we heavily relied on David's questions and analysis to fully understand a document's significance and importance. Having students do the teaching, made teaching the documents not as fluid or easily understandable. I feel that the significance of some documents were lost on the class.

    3. Feb 7:  Dialogue Workshop #1 with Heather Burton

      This is easily when I felt the most engaged in the course. Placed after our "Rethinking Race and Nation," a discussion of our bias really got me thinking about history, and how I had unintentionally perceived parts of it as being biased. Burton led an engaging and thought-provoking discussion, which presented in context with our knowledge of the Civil Rights movement, blew my mind.

    4. Mar 16: Evidence and Anchor Paragraphs 

      I this is when I felt the most distant as a learner. I found our class discussions always engaging and interesting and easily the best and most engaging part of the course. Having to do most of the work on our own, without class discussion, I found myself losing the motivation to really engage in the course like I did before Spring Break.

    1. This page seeks to investigate how feminism and Black women were able to impact the Civil Rights movement and act as a starting point for a reteaching of the Civil Rights movement, paying closer attention to the contribution that Black women had to the movement

      We need a connection to the overall argument of Singh or Lepore here. The focus on the global aspect of women can be framed into a movement against White Supremacy/Anti-imperialsm. CM

    1. national and international lens

      There should be an introduction and brief analysis of Singh's side of the argument to establish the international lens early on. Similar explanation to Lepore should work. CM
