In the context of the very last section of Dr. Tatum's book, "Continuing the Conversation" (pp. 207-219), where she brings her analysis to bear most directly on the college community, I want each family to review several issues of "Teaching Tolerance" (a publication of the Southern Poverty Law Center) and select ONE article from them that your family believes best exemplifies Dr. Tatum's approach to dealing with racial diversity and which you could argue might even work on this campus. At the conclusion of our treatment of Dr. Tatum's book (which I anticipate will be by TUESDAY, NOV. 11TH), each family will present in class a one-page defense of the article you selected. By some means (perhaps secret ballot), we will select a winner, and that family will earn 2 bonus points for this exercise.
This activity counts 8 points.
I will hand out 4 issues of "Teaching Tolerance" to each family tomorrow (Thurs. 10/23). THESE ARE MY PERSONAL COPIES, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU HANDLE THEM WITH CARE AND RETURN THEM AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS EXERCISE IN GOOD SHAPE.
See you tomorrow....
