Hussein,

It looks as though you chose to further explore two aspects of your original mind map: white supremacy and the YWCA. Since there is no description to accompany the mind map, I’m curious why pick these […]

Sasha,

This is another amazing mind map! I really appreciate that you had a solid focus on the action piece in this map. That has been one of my recurring questions for you throughout this process and you […]

Adelle,

Thanks for sharing your mind map. Looking at it, it seems to me that the implementation of proficiency-based grading at your school has been rough. Is that a safe assumption? I also wondered how much […]

Minelle,

Awesome job getting this done well before the deadline. I’ve been reflecting on all the writing and thinking you’ve done so far as I think about what to write. It seems to me that you are determined to […]

Minelle,

Thanks for sharing your mind map. I think it reflects your desire to dig deep into this issue and try to gain a full understanding of it.

Two aspects of your map got me thinking. The first was the […]

Sasha,

Thanks for fixing the link. It worked for me and your mind map is pretty amazing. I was also not familiar with Coggle and it seems like a tool that is really well suited for mind mapping. Thanks for […]

Hussein,

I like that you included some images on your mind map. You’ve managed to meet the deadlines each week by not only completing the task but also finding time to include creative and personal touches, […]

Adelle,

Wow, this is quite a change of direction. However, I’m really impressed by your self-reflection about what is important to you, as well as your courage to make a sharp turn in the middle of this […]

Adelle,

I want to applaud you for seeking out differing perspectives while conducting these conversations. I’m impressed that you actively sought out someone whose opinion differs from yours.

Your […]

Sasha,

Great work with the interviews. Even though they were all family members, you got three unique perspectives on the issue.

Having read your detailed summary of the interviews I have some questions. […]

Hussein,

Great work with your interviews. I like that you sought out a new perspective by reaching out to a friend in Tennessee. To fully understand a topic requires looking at it from multiple and varied […]

Adelle,

Thanks for sharing this thoughtful post. It’s really interesting to hear about your experiences as well as those of the artists. I also think you came up with some great questions, especially the first […]

Sasha,

I love the symbolism in both the title and image you chose for this post. They are both really thoughtful choices.

I am also impressed by the depth of your knowledge on this topic. You’ve clearly done […]

Minelle,

First, I really like the quote that you chose for your featured image. To me, it seems like a statement of your strength.

Second, I’ve observed that both your blog posts have referenced your […]

Hussein,

Thanks for your thoughtful post about racism. Your writing has captured the fact that racism is present in so many different aspects of our lives. You mention television, politics, and sports among […]

Dear Adelle,

I love the passion around taking action and making a difference that I can sense in your writing. You’ve signed up for the right course; this year you’ll be able to take your passion and energy and […]

Dear Minelle,

It was great to meet you at the kick-off day. Although this course will challenge you, at the end of the year I think you’ll find that you will have made an impact that extends beyond your […]
