FriYAY!

9/28/2018

 
Starter: Islands and Whales note-taking guide completion (5 minutes)
  • Complete the rest of your note-taking guide with values/assumptions if you didn't finish that during the film.
  • If yours is done: Write down, somewhere on that guide, your biggest takeaway or Ah-ha from the film
  • Get out Ch. 2 reading notes and decide if you want 2 extra credit points or 6 extra credit points. If more than 10% of the class elects for 6, NO ONE will get them. But if less than 10% do, everyone will receive the amount they requested.  Your choice.  Write a 2 or a 6  in the top left corner of the note-taking guide. AT THE END OF CLASS, I'll collect your notes. Someone remind me! 

Discuss starter (5 minutes)

Debrief 
ch. 2 homework (20 minutes)
  • 3 discussion groups
  • Check for understanding and clear up any confusions about the vocab/notes. Really- make sure you're all good.
  • Elect a representative to share out to the WHOLE class ONE quote/assumption/value/ideology from the reading-- perhaps the most dialed one in your opinion?
  • Make a t-chart as a group and on one side, write down all the values you think those who support Sustainability hold and on the other side, all the values you think those who oppose sustainability hold.
  • Send a representative to add to the T-chart on the whiteboard
  • Discussion Questions (talk about these in your small group)
    • On page 58 the author writes, “this chapter discusses two of these controversies with the understanding that they are merely immediate manifestations of inter-related challenges.”  What are the 2 controversies?
    • What is at the root of the political controversies around sustainability? (page 58)
    • What were the TWO major IPCC findings? (63)
    • On page 75, the author provides an example about two different views of a sustainability policy-- what is the policy, what are the two opposing views and values?
    • Can you think of another example of a policy that might spark similar opposing responses?​

Whole Class Discussion (5-10 minutes)
  • Representative to share out your BEST idea from your notes

Brain Break: Walking to the Amphitheater.

​Let’s head outside to Ashley's Amphitheater to apply these values/ideologies to
Bundyville episode #1

Context on Bundy family Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge from Wikipedia:
On January 2, 2016, armed militants seized and occupied the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon, United States[25] and continued to occupy it until law enforcement made a final arrest on February 11, 2016.[26]Their leader was Ammon Bundy, who participated in the 2014 Bundy standoff at his father's Nevada ranch. Other members of the group were loosely affiliated with non-governmental militias and the sovereign citizen movement.
The organizers were seeking an opportunity to advance their view that the United States Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and other agencies are constitutionally required to turn over most of the federal public land they manage to the individual states. In 2015, the militants believed they could do this by protesting the treatment of two area ranchers convicted of federal land arson, even though the men in question, father and son Dwight and Steven Dwight Hammond, did not want their help.[27] The occupation began when Bundy led an armed party to the refuge headquarters following a peaceful public rally in the nearby city of Burns.[28]



Listen to Bundyville episode 1 to at least the trial start or through the first few minutes of the trial (minute 35). As students listen:
  • On the backside of ch. 2 homework notes, make T-chart and capture as much as you can about the underlying values reflected in the commentary of characters throughout this episode.

Discuss notes and reactions to the podcast and Islands and Whales
  • Do you think the Bundy’s are heroes or villains or something in between?? What about the Federal government?  What does your answer say about your own assumptions, values and ideologies?
  • Any parallels in the values/ideologies we heard in Islands and Whales?  (protecting a way of life? Freedom from external influence? Claim that certain way of life is sustainable?)
