Potential Exhibition Topics

Here is a list of the topics and equity groups that Period 6 generated yesterday. It has most of what came out of the other 2 senior English classes as well, but for those who missed the long block or want other topics to consider in preparation for next week's block period, here you go.  The assignment is to come to class with 3 potential topics for your Senior Paper. You will then have discussions in your table groups about your individual choices. We will also use "critical lenses" to generate questions about your topics, and I will distribute your 1st Process Journal assignment.
