(Birthday girl) Christina: Your idea works for me! I would love to see the link to the pro and cons of multicultural education-would you post it? I will look around for materials too.

From Vicky I think we should start out with a full debate and then bring the class into it. I think we need to set the tone and the pace. We should follow a true debate, question, remark , rebuttal, time keeper... There is a website I found pro and cons of multicultural education, I also think we may need some visuals to prove a point, graphs, charts, non English speaker trying to read???

From Christina: THe more I think about it ,the more I like the idea of a debate-not with each other but with the rest of the class...the question, "Should the United states provide linstruction for students in languages other than English? I DO believe it should but I will take the side against the class...We could be a panel-present the positions-Pro and with what Justifications and Limitations, Con with what justifications and limitations and then ask for discussion-debating views. I really like it because our class will provide A LOT of time filler-AND because the professor suggested it-sounds like an easy A if we mee the criteria in our view points.

Are schools providing educational equity and social justice for all students?
