Class Update: 11/1/12 and 11/2/12


Yesterday morning (11/1/12) we turned in our completed intergraded projects in the library. In class we took a survey which asked our opinions on the project regarding future projects. After this we went down to the library and viewed everyone’s projects. I thought the projects were great; many students came up with several interesting board games.

Today in class (11/2/12) we talked about a Ted-Talk video which was on modern day slavery. It was interesting to see how many students thought modern day slavery was a myth. Slavery is most definitely illegal but human trafficking or sex slavery is still a large problem in our world today. After this we read a document called: "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano." This article discussed the life of a slave and how they were forced to live, this included: starvation, physical abuse, emotional abuse, harsh labor and several more horrific conditions and ways of life for a slave. We were then asked to create a story board in our groups on our assigned reading.
