Pop Skits

OK, some people give pop quizzes so I've decided to do pop skits. In the spirit of giving you some time to get your minds around the concept, have a look at the video clips on this blog and the reading for this week in PAII. Monday during class, I want you to plan a "before and after" skit with your study group related to the case studies I cooked up and passed out in class on Friday. The idea is to look at the historical and analytical readings and clips and relate them to current decisions made in schools that reflect similar values.

The "before" version of the skit (total length of the skit should be no more than 10 minutes) would be how you might handle a situation and decision as described in the case study handout before PAII and your thinking related to this decision and an "after" version of the same decision based on your reflection on this reading and viewing. You can use this as a basis of your group discussion this week. We will share these skits on Friday.

And, if you would like to come up with another case study example not listed on my handout, GO FOR IT. Be thoughtful, be clever, be creative, and have fun.
