Justice Monologues Prep

• Share your monologue with me electronically, please
• Re-read your justice monologue speech (silently, or go outside and read it aloud)
• Make any last minute changes you need
• Tell yourself you're awesome!

Justice Monologues! (20-25 minutes)

• Expectations for active and KIND listening
• We'll just go clockwise around the room.
• When it is your turn, stand up and deliver your speech proudly and boldly
• As you're listening, take notes! What lines or ideas catch your attention? What lines or ideas challenge your own beliefs? 

Justice Monologues Reactions (10-15 minutes)
At the bottom of your written Justice Monologue, write "REACTION"  and take the next 10-15 minutes to just WRITE based on what you are thinking/feeling right now after listening to every one's monologues.  Think about how your own ideas have evolved, what ideas have been challenged, what ideas need more thought on your part to fully understand or be able to defend, or what ideas were further reinforced and why...

Portfolio Update-- Share out from last week!

1. Open up your portfolio update from last week and choose an excerpt from it (or the whole thing) to read to your neighbor.
2. Give each other feedback on whether you think that you've each written an in-depth, sincere, authentic reflection.  What could be added? Where are the holes?
3. Remind each other what the homework is for tomorrow.

Portfolio Update Requirements for This Week

• What questions do you have about the portfolio system?
• See my example on the Documents page for clarification or just ask me in class today!

1. Check-in on the area of improvement you set for yourself last week.  How did you do?
