For class today, everyone had the a few minutes to meet with their partner(s) and prepare their share out for their Explain Like I'm Five summary of their section of the belongingness paper.
I then introduced the assignment which we will use to bring all of these pieces together in an everyday sort of discussion. This was in the form of a letter response to a woman (Anita Hugg) who is concerned about her friend (Rufus Wainwright) because he has released a song in which he claims to be a "One Man Guy." The assignment requires writers to fulfill Ms. Hugg's request of writing to Wainwright to explain the various effects that being a "one man guy" may have on him and what sorts of behaviors are and are not healthy. In class, we listened to the song "One Man Guy" and read the letter prompts so that everyone could have this in mind while hearing the summaries of the different sections of the paper.
The prompt and rubric for this assignment are available here:
Wainwright and Belongingness - Prompt
Wainwright and Belongingness - Rubric (also includes ELI5 response rubric)
Next, all of the groups shared out explaining what their section talked about, reviewing examples given by Baumeister and Leary, and providing examples that relate to high school students today.
While listening, everyone took notes on these elements using the note sheet from the ELI5: Belongingness hand out.
At the end of class we listened to the song, "One Man Guy" (included below) once more to help people review their notes and thinking about how to start responding to Ms. Hugg's request.
Homework:
