To complement PhilpotNew 3.1 Racism
Tuesday, March 22, 2022
PhilpotNew Task 3.12 rewritten for small groups (do NOT go there unless instructed to do so)
* Go to Chapter 8 and read / discuss pp 321-322 (up till the end of Task 8.1).
* Refresh your memory of what is available on the blog in connection with the IO (and where exactly).
* Back to p 135. Read Texts 2.27 and 2.28 quickly, discuss point b, and pick a global issue to concentrate on.
* Annotate both texts, and do point c on your own.
* Instead of point d, share your outlines in your small groups.
* Do points e-j using feedback from your small group members.
* Save everything in your portfolio.
NB! You are not allowed to use the same texts for your real IO that you have used for this kind of practice.
Do NOT go past this line yet!
