So in our class, women are from Sparta, and men are from Athens. Next Tuesday, we'll visit ancient China and the imperial examination system.
In the meantime, for Thursday's class, please read this article on how poverty affects brain development. Bring your written answers the following questions with you to class:
- "The Neuroscience of Poverty": List and describe the findings of three of the studies referenced in the article.
- Based on the new scientific information, what educational and social policy changes could be made, according to the article? Do you have any suggestions?
- The New Eugenics: What are the dangers of brain-poverty research without context?
- How does the information in this article relate to our Call to Action experience?
- Do you have any concerns about the article or the research it describes?
----------------------
Please also remember that you have ten required posts to your blog/portfolio due over the course of the semester. Please review the assignment here. You probably have already competed blog post #1. If you attended the block party or go to one of the events suggested in class today (creative writers workshop, soccer game, etc.), you can knock out #5 right away and not have to worry about that one.
