Schedule for the Day

Open Ended

In 3 minutes, discuss what book you have selected moving forward for assigned reading time, and what you had the chance to look over today. This will be how we conduct our daily reading log.

Identity:
explore, inspect and investigate

In order to understand this question. We need to understand what identity is

In your group come up with a
definition for identity and write it on
your note card with a brief
explanation

Open Ended

What is the definition of identity?

Identity

Identity encompasses the memories,
experiences, relationships, and values
that create one’s sense of self. This
amalgamation creates a steady sense
of who one is over time, even as new
facets are developed and incorporated
into one's identity

What is Identity?

Everyone struggles with the existential
question, “Who am I?” One reason why
may be that the answer is so complex.
Identity includes the many relationships
people cultivate, such as their identity
as a child, friend, partner, and parent. It
involves external characteristics over
which a person has little or no control,
such as height, race, or socioeconomic
class. Identity also encompasses
political opinions, moral attitudes, and
religious beliefs, all of which guide the
choices one makes on a daily basis.

What defines identity:
explore, inspect and investigate

Identity encompasses the values people hold, which dictate the choices they make. An identity
contains multiple roles—such as a mother, teacher, and U.S. citizen—and each role holds meaning
and expectations that are internalized into one’s identity. Identity continues to evolve over the
course of an individual’s life

How is identity formed?:

Discovering and developing one’s
potential

Choosing one’s purpose in life

Finding opportunities to exercise that
potential and purpose

Open Ended

Why is "Who am I?" such a complicated question? How does this relate to economics? Take 3 minutes to discuss with your group, and type your response below.

Discussion Due Tonight

Schedule for the day

Open Ended

If your identity had to be represented as a single image, symbol, or object, what would it be and why?

Open Ended

Briefly list the title, and the page # range you got through today before responding to the following prompt: What bias or perspective might the author bring, and why? (Hint: if you need to take the time to look up the author, that is fine, or you can go just off what you read from the text.)

Visual Translation: Romare Beaden

Meet Romare Bearden. His friends called him
Romie. He was an African-American artist and
author of a history of his people’s art.
He worked with many types of media
including cartoons, oils, and collages. Born in
Charlotte, North Carolina, Bearden grew up in
New York City and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
After graduating from college at NYU, he had
a career as a social worker while becoming one
of the preeminent artists in the United States
from the mid 1960s until his death in 1988.

Visual Translation: Romare Beaden

Having grown up in a house where Harlem
Renaissance luminaries like poet Langston
Hughes were regular visitors, it is no surprise
that adult Bearden read all the time: poetry,
philosophy, politics, works about myth,
religion and art, and ancient literature. He also
read contemporary writers and intellectuals,
many of them personal friends, including
Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Albert
Murray.
Bearden didn’t just read, he also
wrote—exhibition reviews, articles about his
own working methods and artistic ideas, and
three book-length studies.

Visual Translation: Romare Beaden

Jazz and the blues provided Bearden with
many subjects. He grew up hearing rural blues
and uptown jazz: Duke Ellington’s orchestra,
Earl Hines’ piano, Ella Fitzgerald’s scat singing.
For sixteen years, his studio was above the
Apollo Theatre, still a Harlem musical
landmark.
Bearden’s signature technique was collage.
Snippets from magazine photographs,
painted papers, foil, posters, and art
reproductions were among his materials.
They were his “paints.” Bearden’s collages
fractured space and form, leading one writer
to describe them as “patchwork cubism.”

Multiple Select

What were some of Beaden's biggest influences? (Select all that apply)

• Rock and Roll

• Uptown Jazz

• The wars

• Rural Blues

Open Ended

In what ways can you develop an understanding of yourself by utilizing different mediums of expression?

Visual Translation: Create

01

Go on Canva and find a template for
collage/scrapbooking

02

Choose a collection of images that represent
aspects of your identity. Use your personal
identity wheels. What images do you gravitate
towards? How do they represent your identity?

03

Once you have completed your collage, go ahead
and download your image

Visual Translation: Assignment

01

Once you have downloaded your image, upload it
to our discussion board

02

After you have uploaded your image, include
your artist statement: this is a short explanation
of what the images represent to you. It’s a
stand-in for you, the artist, talking to someone
about your work in a way that explains the
background.
03

Include two responses to classmates’ Visual
translation. Make sure to build upon the
discussion in a productive way.

Schedule for the Week

How does today’s reading connect to your own experience or modern society?

Did anything you read today challenge your assumptions?

Unit 1: Overview

This unit is an overview of foundational economic concepts related to micro and macro economics. In
this unit students will analyze and compare economies, markets and the role economic factors play
in making economic decisions. Students will analyze and evaluate the role of government and
economic institutions in developing and implementing economic structures. Students will connect
that knowledge to an understanding of the role of government in a market economy. Finally,
students will understand and compare the factors of economic interdependence and its impact on
nations. This unit will last for four weeks.

What is Economics?

-The study of how people seek to
satisfy their needs and wants by

-Studied in individuals, groups and
in governments

-Macro

-Micro

What is Economics?

1.The study of production,
distribution, and consumption of
goods/services

2.The study of balancing unlimited
wants and needs with SCARCITY
of resources -> Supply/Demand

3.The study of decision making

Goods/Services

-Good: tangible product that is
consumed

-Service: activity that is consumed

-Consumers: those who use
goods/services

Open Ended

What are some examples of goods? Write as many as you can in 3 minutes. - Who can get the most?

What are some examples of services? Write as many as you can in 3 minutes. - Who can get the most?

What is Economic Reasoning?

1.)

People choose

2.)

People’s choices always have cost

3.)

People respond to incentives in predictable ways

4.)

Institutions are the “rules of the game” that influence choices

5.)

Understanding based on knowledge and evidence imparts value to
opinions

Open Ended

Break down the five points of economic reasoning in the previous slide in your own words.

Open Ended

Take a minute to write the 1st prop of economic reasoning in your own words:

"People choose, and individual choices are the source of social outcomes.
Scarcity necessitates choices: not all of our desires can be satisfied. People make these choices
based on their perceptions of the expected costs and benefits of the alternatives."

Open Ended

Take a minute to write the second prop in your own words:

"Choices impose costs; people receive benefits and incur costs when they make
decisions. The cost of a choice is the value of the next-best alternative foregone, measurable in time or money
or some alternative activity given up."
