What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places- and there are so many- where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.. . .

Texan Constitution, Sections 6, 9 and 10:
“All free white persons who emigrate to the republic…shall be entitled to all the privileges of citizenship.’
“All persons of color who were slaves for life previous to their emigration to Texas, and who are now held in bondage, shall remain in the like state of servitude… Congress (of Texas) shall pass no laws to prohibit emigrants from the United State of America from bringing their slaves into the Republic with them…nor shall Congress have the power to emancipate slaves; nor shall any slaveholder be allowed to emancipate his or her slave or slaves…no free person of African descent either in whole or in part shall be permitted to reside permanently in the Republic without the consent of Congress.”

Portfolio review and
self-assessment. This is a test. Do
separately from logs. You can include Log 4 in this. Choose substantive
assignments, not pre-learning writing. No extra credit. You can make a contract
to improve with the following 1) weekly check in during lunch or b day tutor
time with all of your work done/organized 2) conference to review your work and
get more feedback/help 3) reviewing your work together before you turn them in
to see how you can improve your work. If you do this for the whole semester, I will
let you make up work that is late over 1 week.
End of Quarter Portfolio Self Reflection
Write an informal and honest letter about your work this
quarter. Base this on your own
judgment not on the grade you received.
You may consider the syllabus and sheet on using supporting details to
remember the goals for the course.
1) Review your portfolio and readings and choose several
pieces of work that you feel reflects your best work (review the handout on
using supporting details). Have your self-grades
been close to the grades I’ve been giving you? Analyze your work to find several specific
examples from your work that demonstrates:
- How you develop a clear understanding of important events and ideas/concepts.
- How you are able to analyze, synthesize, elaborate on and/or explain ideas with accurate supporting details.
- How you read and think about information critically.
- How you support your conclusions or opinions with factual claims are that are accurate and precise (specific and not exaggerated or too broadly generalized).
2) Also write about your class participation this
quarter. How have you participated in
class (role-plays/simulations, discussions, sharing ideas and writing, asking
questions, etc). Give me specific examples of when and how you
participated. How did it help thinking
and learning for you and other people in class?
3) How have you grown in your skills and understanding so
far? What are things you can do to improve your learning next quarter. Be
specific. What specific steps will you
take to do this?
Take your timelines home, but keep
all other graded and returned work, and nothing else, in your portfolios.
