Week 2 &3
Using the class Reading List we will continue with the process of critical summaflection - Socratic seminar - teacher instruction. Team-up/Breakdown and classroom activities will be incorporated to illuminate the topics and illustrate as many tangible examples as possible.
Excerpts from: Plato's Republic, Rousseau's Social Contract, The Federalist Papers No. 1, 9,10, 14,2, 39, 45,47 and 51, Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation and The Constitution, Mill's On Liberty, will be used to highlight the debate leading to the formation of the United States of America.
In this section, we will do an activity called, "The Enlightenment and You: What do these ideals look like?" Students will be facilitated to move from the abstract to the actual. Students will create concrete a visual representation of examples of the application/non-application of these ideals/concepts/principles/values and focus on their lived experience of these principles.
