Whose History/Whose Science
Week 8
Assignment due Tuesday, October 27 by 4 p.m.
“History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read.
And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past.
On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do.”
James Baldwin 20th century poet, writer, activist, thinker (quoted in James Baldwin on History, Perspectives on History, American Historical Association, August 3, 2016)
Learning Activity 1
Who Does Science?
1. 'SCIENTIST' creates an image in our minds. Draw an image you see in your mind of what a scientist is. Do not draw Einstein, please.
Put a photo of your drawing into your assignment document or attach it to your Canvas submission as a media file.
Learning Activity 2
WHY Are Women Scientists and Inventors LOST to HISTORY?
Women have been left out of history deliberately
removed,
forgotten,
disregarded
so someone else can take credit for their
work
achievements
laws and regulations
defending the health and welfare of all life forms, the environment, and the balance of life on planet Earth.
2. Choose six aspects of the work and achievements by the woman (or women) you are introducing to the class that everyone ought to know to appreciate the importance of the woman's (or women's) knowledge and perseverance.
Write these six in brief paragraphs.
You and other members of your group will choose the information to highlight in your UDL/DI presentation template you all design next Tuesday in class.
Learning Activity 3
Women in Science and History
LIVE LINKS to Bob's history wiki with MULTIMODAL LEARNING RESOURCES to learn and teach about women we introduce in class next Tuesday.
Explore Wikipedia and the resources for history teachers wiki pages about your woman (women) investigating resources new to you.
3. Write a PITCH - - a way to introduce the woman (women) you are publicizing Tuesday -- that catches audience attention and highlights something MEMORABLE about the person(s).
Write your pitch in your assignment to have it ready to demonstrate for your group!
