Co-Construction of Identities alongside Young Adolescents
Members in a group are asked to write five interesting facts that they have learned this semester so far on a note card. For several minutes, people walk around the room, sharing the facts on their cards. They then exchange cards (baggage) and move on to introduce themselves to others in the group. When time is up, the teacher collects all the cards and asks people to identify the owner of the card (baggage).
Reflection Three:
Sharing session from the last hour of our last class:
Conversational Exchanges and Discourse Analysis
First, in groups of 3, share (and laugh). Then a person from each group is nominated to report out to the whole class. The nomination should be based on a combination of the most fascinating combined conversational exchange and analysis.
Introduction to Social Constructions: Walk of Privilege

Based on the activities we've done today in class around social constructions, work with a partner to identify four ways how Nakkula & Toshalis Ch 2 argue that social constructions can affect an early adolescent. Relate these arguments, using real life examples, if you can.
What's Due Next Week?
We will not be meeting on Friday, October 13 on the RIC campus. Instead, use this as a time swap for conducting your Shadow Study. Check out the post on our blog post called "Shadow Study" for a series of helpful docs as you observe an early adolescent and learn about middle school life from the inside. During our class on Friday, October 20, we'll start to discuss the Shadow Study and do some preliminary drafting. Thus, if you can get it done between now and then, it makes a lot of sense.However, you do have a Film Review due on Friday, October 13. If you need more time to do this assignment, send Dr. Carolyn an email. It's important for me to be flexible in order to give you the opportunity to learn the most and do so well!
