Project Mulberry

One of the topics that my group talked about was the idea of Mr. Dixon and Julia's mom. Why do you think that the other thought the other person was white? A few people talked about just how people assume things about teachers and the families based on the composition of the students in the area.

Another big discussion was the idea of heritage and how does that affect what you want to do with projects. Do you think that your heritage affects what you want to do in school and how much you are willing to share? The reason this came up is because of her being Korean and how she didn't want to do a project. I said middle school is a hard time for any student to fit in and all they want to do is fit in so they are not going to other people a reason to exclude them in activities. What do you think?
