Label each question by putting “1.”, “2.”, and so on in front of it.
1. Choose any country in the world, other than the U. S., and
briefly explain that country’s current laws that would affect the
LGBTQ community. Each student needs to conduct research on
a different country to avoid a grade
penalty, so be sure to check to see what others have already
done.
[NOTE: Google level research is fine for this assignment.]
2. What side are you on in the Pronoun Wars? [NOTE: Contextual material in this week’s “Additional Resources” folder.] Have you ever had an experience dealing with this topic, either that you were part of, or that you witnessed? If so, and if you would like, please share that experience. If you haven't had an experience dealing with this topic or don't wish to share one you were part of or witnessed, what would you do if you were a teacher in a public school and had students who preferred pronouns other than he/she, and so on?
3. What is your attitude about “microaggressions”? Do you have any experience dealing with this topic, either that you were part of, or that you witnessed? If so, and if you would like, please share that experience. If you haven't had an experience dealing with this topic or don't wish to share one you were part of or witnessed, what would you do if you were in a public setting and were accused of using negative microaggressions?
4. Comment on two other student posts especially those that may be opposite to your own.
