Welcome back! We have missed you
Tell me in 3-5 sentences how the strike impacted you and your family. Writer’s notebook
I ALWAYS STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE RIGHT
I ALWAYS STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE RIGHT, EVEN IF IT IS UNPOPULAR
I ALWAYS STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE RIGHT, EVEN IF IT MAY HARM OTHER PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY
I WOULD RATHER REFUSE PAY THAN WORK IN UNFAIR PAY AND WORKING CONDITIONS
I WOULD WILLINGLY LOSE MONEY TO STAND UP WITH OTHERS WHO ARE FACING AN INJUSTICE
I BELIEVE ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE AFFORDED EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN EDUCATION, NO MATTER WHERE THEY GROW UP
Different Perspectives You will read one excerpt from five different perspectives on the strike including: CTU President Karen Lewis, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a teacher, a student, and CPS Board President David Vitale and then respond to the following: • Indentify the person. What is that person/organization’s point of view? • Does their opinion surprise you? Why or why not? • Who do they represent? • How do they feel? What do they need/want?
Who said it? • CTU President Karen Lewis • Mayor Rahm Emanuel • CPS School Board President David Vitale • Editorial in Chicago Tribune opposing CTU • Editorial in New York Times, Rinda West • CPS teacher Xian Barret • CPS student Domonique Jones
Your turn (homework?) Do you think the strike was warranted? Why or why not? In other words, who do you side with, if anyone? • 5-7 sentences • Use evidence from the articles to support your answer
