We Will All Be Minorities?
Closing Lecture Remarks
To be minoritized means to be pushed to the margins often by means out of your own control ( Paniagua, 2015 ). There are many groups and individuals who might or are minoritized in our society. Power and privilege operate in society through this process of minoritization and, perhaps, you, too, have been marginalized by this process.
Now is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to utilize course concepts and incorporate case studies in producing knowledge through cultural criticism in writing.
Most unit lectures close with this same class discussion format. If you read and closely follow all the instructions for this class discussion, you should be able to do well here on out. I will be leaving you feedback and a grade for this assignment. It is important you review my feedback so you can address any issues in the next assignment.
I look forward to reading each of your posts and comments. Contact me ahead of time if you need an extension. I accept late posts but not late comments or self-reflections. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, doubts, or need additional assistance.
Saludos,
Professor Fuentes
Overview and Criteria
Discussion Overview
The three (3) steps to complete this assignment are explained below in more detail, but here they are in a nutshell:
Pick 2+ course concepts.
Answer 2+ question(s) or prompts.
Leave 2+ substantive comments.
There are two (2) dimensions that add up to 20 total points possible from this assignment.
Your Post : 10 Points Max
2+ Comments : 10 Points Max
You’ll be graded on your ability to utilize course concepts to critically reflect on the unit’s lecture material. You must closely follow guidelines to earn maximum points.
Post Guidelines (10 points)
Your post should be no less than 200 words in length.
Your post is worth up to 10 points. It should contain:
2 pt: proper grammar and free of spelling errors,
2 pt: use proper in-text citations,
2 pt: apply course concepts,
2 pt: incorporate lecture(s) material,
2 pt: directly address all aspects of the prompt(s).
Peer Comments (10 Points)
Each comment you leave is worth up to 5 points (depending on quality of post). Being nice and respectful is important, but it doesn’t get you all the points. Your comments need to be substantive and expand on the conversation or original post in a meaningful way.
Comments should contain at least one of the following:
Comments should provide new information about the original post (“substantive”).
Elaborate on a point made by the Poster or someone else on the thread (“expand”).
In other words, compliments and salutations do not count as satisfactory comments.
Pro Tips
What mistake will cost you the most points?
Use of in-text citations for all prompts is required as you need to develop the habit of attributing information to sources in college-level writing. An example of citing lectures in your text is as follows: (Fuentes, “Unit #: Name of Lecture.”). Both the green number and lecture title must be changed to the appropriate source for credit.
Don’t want to lose your work?
Copy and paste your posts on Canvas, but write them elsewhere (WordLinks to an external site., GoogleLinks to an external site., etc.). Canvas logs users out with inactivity. If this happens, you aren’t alerted and your work will be lost even if you try to “save” or hit “submit.”
Continuing the Conversation
You have a voice; what’s your say?
Guidance: Select course concepts (2+) introduced in this unit to answer two (2) or more of the below question(s) or prompts according Professor Fuentes’ lecture materials. You can also incorporate your own personal experiences or recent events, but there has to be a clear connection to concepts and case studies.*
Discuss the key differences from the label “minority” and the process of “minoritized.”
Discuss what Takaki means when he answers the question, “We will all be minorities?” (Ch 17).
Describe the effects of being minoritized at school, at home, or in society?
Discuss the ways individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ are affected from minoritization.
What are 2-3 social factors that affect the mental health of minoritized individuals?
Discuss the characteristics and analyze the importance of the Minoritized Student Model.
From your own lived experience, what is another example of minoritization?
Add your own link to an ig post, tweet, or tik tok and explain how it is an example of White Spatial Imaginary or ethnocentrism; OR Write your own question and incorporate course concepts to explain the importance behind your question (and the value of the potential answer).
