Class Fourteen
In-Class Journal:
How do people from different economic backgrounds work? Describe to me how you envision lower-income, middle-income, and upper-income people your age working. What are the similarities and differences? Again, begin with definitions for these terms. Journal for 15 min.
Talk about the first difficult job you have held, and what was it about that job that you liked the most and least. Keep a list of your responses. (15 mins)
Class Discussion:
Discuss the ways in which people set up barriers between their work life and their non-work life. Why do we have these barriers, why are they useful? What does it mean for someone to identify the “real world” as the work world? Where does that leave their “real life?” (15 mins)
Homework:
Re-read: Mrs. Beazley’s Deeds by Charlotte Perkins Gilman P386-400
Two-page guided response: Write a two-page response to describe the most important aspects of Mrs. Beazley’s character and setting. Stay focused on actual details in the story that can be quoted!
