Please look up and watch the video on Jane Elliot’s Brown Eyes/Blue Eyes experiment, A Class Divided. It is a very old experiment but its points are still very timely. I have provided the link located after the rubric at the bottom of the page but if you cannot open it then just put Jane Elliot”s Brown Eyes/Byes experiment in the search bar. For those of you who have seen it, I apologize but it is important to view it again. The video is worth watching because it has valuable lessons included in it that are still very applicable today.
You will write a reflection assignment which is one page in length(600 words in length) and discuss your thoughts about the experiment, how it made you feel, what you learned from it, and your reaction to it.

Create a lesson plan for elementary school-age children (in Middle Childhood) related to the book, The Giving Tree. Your plan should have two sections: 1) Details of your lesson plan including Goal/Objectives, Activities, Age or Grade level, Materials needed, Curriculum subject(s) covered (e.g., English, Science) and 2) A brief discussion of how your plan relates to children’s development at this stage—why is your plan appropriate for their level of social, emotional, and/or cognitive development? How does your plan enhance development in any or all of these areas?
The Giving Tree website contains examples of lesson plans (others are available for purchase but certainly not necessary).
Please complete the readings first and infer what children entering middle childhood are like:
What do they know and understand about themselves and their development?
What can we learn from both research and theory about this age group?
For this creative project keep in mind that a simple, yet descriptive lesson plan is the goal.

8B – How does Jack London steer the reader to favorably accept the protagonist’s choice in “South of the Slot?” What does this reveal potentially about London’s attitude toward social class in U.S. society at the turn of the century. Support your reasoning with at least one direct quotation from the short story in a response of at least 200 – 250 words.
Jack London wrote more than 50 books, including naturalist classics The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906), both of which depict the struggle for survival through allegories of animals that represent elemental human characteristics.
Born in San Francisco in 1876, out of wedlock, his early biography has gaps in its documentation. He dropped out of school when he was a young teenager and worked at many jobs, including oyster fishing in the San Francisco Bay, serving on fish patrol to capture poachers, and sailing the Pacific on a sealing ship. When he returned home, he joined Kelly’s Army (unemployed working men) and hoboed around the country. London educated himself at public libraries with the writings of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Nietzsche, usually in popularized forms and was drawn to the ideals of early socialist thinkers. At the age of 19, he returned to high school but quit again to follow the gold rush.
London spent the winter of 1897 in the Yukon, which provided him the “gold” for his first stories. He began to publish in the Overland Monthly, in 1899. Although he became the highest-paid writer in the United States at that time, his earnings never matched his expenditures, and he was never freed of the urgency of writing for money.
London was troubled by physical ailments, beginning in his 30s. He developed a kidney disease of unknown origin and died of renal failure on November 22, 1916, at his ranch, at the age of 40.
We will read London’s short story “South of the Slot” first published in the Saturday Evening Post, a popular magazine known for its many covers by Norman Rockwell.
