We continue our study of Claudette Colvin and teens as agents of change.
Yesterday we discussed how Claudette’s sense of self was affected by her experiences and by her perception of what others thought of her.
Today, I had students sit one by one in front of the class with their backs to the whiteboard. Then the members of the class came up to write positive comments about the students on the board. The students turned around and read what their classmates wrote. Lots of smiles.
I think it’s important for teens to develop a positive sense of self. Today, I hope they realize how amazing they all are and that other people see this too! We will have more students participate in this exercise tomorrow.
The Cagney group is working on sentence combining as well as how to write an effective paragraph.
Today we discussed:
We also read Ch.2 aloud in class.
Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice
Students discussed the question: what defines and shapes your sense of self?
We then explored how circumstances, family, and the community affected Claudette Colvin’s sense of self. We also discussed what motivated Claudette on March 2, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat.

There will be a quiz tomorrow. After today’s quiz, it was very evident that many of the students did not complete the required reading that was assigned yesterday. Students will have nightly reading assignments.
