The Text Response must demonstrate that you have read the text carefully and identified key questions, issues and critical points for discussion for the assigned reading. The document should capture key information from the readings using your own words as deeply as possible and connect it to relevant personal experiences. This assignment is not intended as a summary or test to show that you did the reading. We will expect that each of us will do all the readings, so this assignment is an opportunity for us to deeply engage these readings in the context of our interests in the class. Your summary can be as long as you want but no less than 400 words. Text Response should include:
What are at least three of the most important concepts/main ideas from the reading/s?
What are at least two personal reflections the reading/s generated for you?
What is at least one question you have about the reading/s?
At least one passage/quote of the text you find particularly striking, and why?
How can you apply this knowledge or understanding (from all the readings) as a future educator to disrupt unjust systems? How do the reading/s make you re-think, re-consider, or re-understand your future/current teaching practice/philosophy?
