Thanksgiving Week

This week is very short, but we will still complete a good amount of work.  After reviewing and discussing professionalism and ethical behavior in the workplace and school, it’s time to write about it. 

On Monday, you will research discrimination in the workplace by finding at least two relevant articles that touch upon the sensitive topics of either: gender, race, national origin, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, veteran status, or any characteristic of a group unrelated to the workplace. 

On Tuesday, you will create a blog post of at least 300 words, at least one image, and cite all sources used in helping you formulate your post.  Feel free to use quotes from the sources so that you can defend your stance with professional viewpoints.

Our Clear Target for this week is as follows:

We can analyze professionalism and ethical behavior in various workplace scenarios

Monday:

Objective: Read and research one element of discrimination.  Use at least two sources for research

In my absence, you should read at least two articles about discrimination in the workplace.  Please narrow your search to only one element of the aforementioned standard.  Take notes on the articles and identify at least two quotes that can be used in your blog post.  If you finish both articles with time to spare, please find a third article to read.  More information on the topic will allow you to write more comfortably on the subject. 

This requires no classroom discussion, so please be silent so that everyone can optimize his/her research time.

Tuesday:

Objectives: Compose blog post about discrimination, share post with Mr. Spinella, discuss blog posts

Today you will compose your blog posts using your notes and research you completed on Monday.  Please make this blog post at least 300 words, include at least one image, and cite your sources by providing the URL for each article you read at the end of your post. 

We will discuss our posts with the last 10 minutes in class, so please make sure you finish your posts in the first 35 minutes of class. 

That’s it for this week.  I look forward to our discussions on Tuesday!
