Thanks for giving us time after the long weekend to work on more research for our topic. I would like to try to get more focused. I hope there are more activities leading up to where we are now. I am just like my kids, once I mention a topic then let it go for a while I come back full of questions and eager to get these ideas onto paper before I forget.
Ron, my whole narrative was about how we start to categorize our students. Maybe not so much in the younger years but in High school, you have those who are going to go to college and those who aren't. What you said about the football player today really struck a cord. Thanks for a great lesson and helping me realize that no one is ever the right fit. Anyone can do better. I want to read Call of the Wild again

I agree- the 'free' time to research was much appreciated! I was able to go back to our 'discussion on the wall' and get some more keywords from everyone's ideas to help guide my search. Refworks left a bit to be desired today because the login info that I'm using for all of my OU stuff didn't work. Hmmmm, did I really change it for this one application?
ReplyDeleteJodi, I am so looking forward to reading from your research--I believe that the ways in which we "tag" (and are taught to "tag") children can be both beneficial and potentially harmful . . .
ReplyDeleteRon's lesson on _Call_ also made me want to dig deeper into masculine studies and the themes poking at "taming," "breaking," and "culturing"
