Midterm

Midterm

Midterm goal:

1. Synthesize BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) experiences.
2. Analyze and apply theories on race and ethnic relations to historical events, current events, and to students’ own lives and experiences.

Midterm purpose:

–To discuss BIPOC experiences that we’ve learned about

–To discuss racialized experiences in one’s own life and relate to the course

Step-by-step prompt directions:

Part I. Putting the Pieces together

Create an overall argument about the experiences of Native Americans, Black Americans, Latinx Americans and Asian Americans. Write a paper that discusses those experiences and then also compares/relates those experiences.  (at least 2-3 pages)

• Use only course materials and cite them
• Be sure to discuss and give examples for each group. Please explain your examples.

Part II. All About YOU

Reflect on how YOU’VE been racialized. What are the racial/ethnic experiences that you have encountered?

• They can be in education/school, at work, at home/in your community, online/on social media, etc.
• If you feel you have not had many “racialized experiences” or experiences where your race and ethnicity was important to an incident or occurrence, 1) think about why the invisibility of race was normalized in YOUR life. 2) Where have you seen race/ethnicity be important for others where it has not been important for you?
