Say What?
Read the essay Mother Tongue then watch the TedTalk "The Danger of a Single Story"
Examine how the construction of Adichie's argument mimics Tan's. Also, talk about the stories of these women. What strikes you as interesting? What do you think about what they have to say. You must blog anywhere from 300-500 words. You should have a lot to say. They are very interesting stories.

We Don't Need No Education!
Another Brick in the Wall
Quotes about Education
Watch the video from Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall", then choose a quote from the list. Once a quote has been chosen, it is no longer available, so first come, first serve.
Relate the quote to the video and or song lyrics in some way. Consider that I am providing you with two resources, a quote and a song/video about the topic of education.
Talk about the topic of education. What do you think about it? Talk about education as a philosophy, or a practice, or a responsibility or ????????
When you respond to a classmates blog, do not comment on whether or not you like it. Rather comment on how you might challenge it or validate it with another point.
I am looking for posts that are full of thought about the topic. Perhaps you chose a quote that contradicts the lyrics or the video. On the other hand, perhaps you found a quote that drives home an important point brought up in the lyrics or video.
Most of all, I want you to think, deeply about the topic. You may also pull in any thoughts from pieces we have read in this unit.
