Starter 10.23:  What are your takeaways from Sister Helen's visit?  How did her rhetoric impact you as an audience member?  Has your perspective been modified by her discourse?


Film Screening:  Inequality for All
Robert Reich poses some questions early in the film about income inequality.  He asks his audience:
1.  What is happening?  
2.  Why is it happening?
3.  Is it a problem?
As you watch the film, take notes that help you understand how the film is answering these questions.  Then, synthesize your take-aways on Edmodo.  Use the film as a source.  Agree with its perspective or find evidence that disagrees with it!



Homework:  Edmodo Seminar Work
1.  Try to wrap up your "gathering evidence" phase of the project.
2.  I have posted the essential questions to Edmodo on separate conversation threads.  Please respond to at least three of them.  
3.  Respond to peers!  (Use evidence!)
4.  Let the seminar unfold organically and authentically.
