Class Biz

• Seminar grades are in Powerschool and I gave you feedback on your self-assessment documents. Check those if you have any questions.
• Homework for the week!  (see hmwk/calendar tab on my DP)
• Who needs extensions? Show of hands.  Extensions granted to Friday. 

AGENDA
1. Today's Key Terms
JUSTICE (why are these definitions problematic?)

• based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair
  
• getting what one deserves (punishment or reward)
• fairness

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: The deliberate violation of a law for SOCIAL purpose (not individual or private gain) 

Food for thought: But why would someone protest laws?  How do we determine which laws are protest-worthy? (review civil disobedience images-- what made these folks protest?)

2. Review of guidelines for uploading StoryCorps interview and project reflection (see work time resources below)
(New students: Need help with your DP? Talk to me!)

3. Work Time

• Produce and upload interview (see page 2 of this doc)
• Complete final project reflection!  (see pages 2-3 of this doc). Send me the link to your DP when you're done.

4. Exit Ticket:  Work time quick check survey
