AS1 IB Ethics and Professional Skills I-Newman 8th Assignments

You will do this assignment independently, though be prepared to discuss your thinking Thursday in class. 

Read — and annotate as needed and you may want to scan the original study summary — the PDF of the Wall Street Journal article and read the work on student loan debt linked. Then answer the questions on the Form. Take your time with this as we'll likely discuss the results Monday, but note that it is due by Sunday so I have some time to read your thinking.

Watch the video in class, complete and annotate the readings — you may work in pairs — and answer the questions. Be prepared to share your thinking on Wednesday.

You may use any resource — notes, assignments, Classroom content or other texts — to complete this quiz. You MAY NOT work with anyone else, however.

Read and annotate the handout and use it to answer the Google Form prompts. 

You may have done this already in a PE class — or other class — and can ignore if so. If you do not have time to complete in class, please do so for homework. The deadline is Wednesday, Nov. 30. 

We are asking you to complete an important survey. It will provide us with pertinent data and create an individual profile for you which will be used to support you with your scheduling/programming needs and post-secondary endeavors. This survey is being administered to all high school students across the district (CPS). You will be provided with time in your PE class to complete this task. If you are currently not in a PE class, you will be given time in an alternate class and your teacher will reach out to you. It should take approximately 30 minutes, in the event you didn't complete it in the time provided you can submit it at a later time. 


When they mention "IB", they are referring to IB Diploma/CP classes at the 11th and 12th grade level only (not IB-MYP 9th/10th). Please click on the link below to begin. Thank you.

Use the provided handout and information from Monday's assignment to answer the question prompts on the Doc. This is a critical analysis pressing you to use depth of knowledge in your thinking, so take your time. Answer in complete sentences and cite sources as needed.

This is an OPTIONAL assignment.

Use the attached materials to figure out how you would vote in Tuesday's midterm elections. NOTE: I DO NOT care how you would vote and your choices will not be used in grading. But you will have to provide evidence that you completed the ballot and the judges work (do this one first and it will make the ballot easier). You can also make use of the iSideWith work we did in week 9 and any other material needed to support your work — but cite whatever you use. 
This will be due by class on Wednesday in order to try to get answers to some of the questions about race outcomes. If they are unavailable by then, just put N/A. You can turn in partially completed work for partial credit, but NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED.

Essay length (2 paragraphs, minimum): 5 points
APA bibliography and citations: 5 points
Claim or argument: 5 points
Evidence and supports: 5 points

Take notes during the presentations

Use the Service Learning Guide in classroom to find answers for the Google Form question prompts. Be prepared to discuss this in class on Wednesday. 

We will take this "quiz" in class and you will work to answer the reflection questions. Finish in class, no work to do over the three-day weekend!

In class we will watch a selection of campaign ads. Take notes and answer the questions as we go. You will use this work in your pods to foster discussion and for the reflective question at the end.

You will, individually, watch the debate — note: It starts at about the 11 minute mark. Working on the Google Doc, answer the questions to the best of your ability — try to figure out their positions on some things may be difficult based on their answers, so just do your best. Be prepared to discuss or offer answers and reasoning in class on Tuesday. 

Each of the bullet point questions before the chart is worth a point, each answer in the chart is worth 2 points, and each bullet point after the chart is worth 5 points.

THIS IS HOMEWORK!
On YouTube, find a campaign ad for a candidate or cause in Illinois in this election cycle. Use it to answer the questions and prompts on the Form. Be prepared to discuss your findings in class.

Using the Google Slides presentation and class discussion, work to answer the questions and prompts on the attached Google Doc. 

In small groups, discuss the ethical dilemma from the video. Use the attached Google Doc to answer questions about how to handle a crisis — consider what you saw in the Boeing video, the Tylenol scenario, and any other experience or research you might have. Make sure to explain or justify your answers and thinking — the "I did this because" component is an important one in dealing with public relations challenges. We'll use your thinking here as we look at developing ethical frameworks next week.

Using class discussions and resources provided or that you find, do a critical analysis of the Boeing 737 Max saga thinking about ethical implications and outcomes. 
Full credit only available for work turned in on time.

Watch the documentary while taking notes and entering in group discussion. You will use these to write an analysis - to be assigned - for a summative grade.

Use the Google Doc to organize your thinking and determine if sources provided in this case study - below and in the initial assignment with the video - are primary or secondary and whether they are authoritative or appropriate for academic work. You need at least five sources.

Read the Newsela article and take the quiz and complete the reading question. Annotate the article as needed. You should read it at Max level - it is set for that as a default.

In class watch the video and contemplate the message about decision making process discussed. On the index card, describe a time you've made a choice or taken an action that you may have perceived as positive at the time, but changed your thinking later. Explain the process — what changed your mind and how was your thinking changed because of it. 
SIDE NOTE: The speaker, Michael Schur, is a pretty interesting dude. He's be a creator, writer, producer on a number of TV shows, including The Office, The Good Place, Parks and Rec, and SNL and he's Ken Tremendous on Twitter and sports blogs. More on him in the linked bio if you're interested. 

In class we’ll watch the news video together. You can re-watch or read the article as needed. Using this and any other information you find — citing sources — answer the questions in the scenario on the Google Doc. Use complete sentences and provide reasoning for your answers.
This is due at the start of class Thursday. Be prepared to discuss your work.

Examine the charts and maps presented in class. You will develop a hypothesis, on the index card, about why unions are gaining popularity. 

In class, we will discuss what you know about Labor Day. You will then read the linked article and answer the prompts. Be prepared to discuss your thinking in class.

Read the linked article and answer the Google Form questions. This will require you to focus a bit on your life plans, so don't stress out if you don't have it all figure out yet. Just be honest with the answers — it will help me and you as we start to think about Reflective Projects.

Use the attached Google Doc to complete a draft of your resume.

Read the linked articles and analyze the meaning, then work on the assigned Google Doc to critically assess the "trend."

Use the Doc to organize background information for an updated resume.

Take 5 minutes to Google your name and summarize what you find.

Please take time in class to read and investigate this guideline document — we will discuss as a class. You should then take the contract home and use the next two days to think about what's there or what's missing. Amend with any changes or additions you'd like to see and be prepared to discuss on Friday.

In class, watch the news report and/or read the story and take part in discussion. On the index card, answer these questions:
Have you ever read Terms of Service on a platform you use? If not, why not?
By signing a TOS agreement, are you giving up a right to privacy and self determination? If so, is that a deal you are willing to make?

Please put your name, date, and the class period on the blank side of the card. Your answer should go on the lined side.

Please take time to fill out the Google Form Survey. Answer honestly and give it some thought — not one-word answers or "I'm fine."
