Hello!  This excellent TED Talk, “The Danger of a Single Story,” will inspire you to do a lot of deep thinking and make connections between what you have learned.  I will give you the transcript in class on Tuesday, but it’s best if you watch it ahead of time. 

Please email me or see me in school with any questions. 

Here is the essay question related to this video that will appear on your midterm exam.  Get crackin’! 

Consider the concept of “the single story” and the content of the fact sheets shared by you and your classmates.  How does understanding “the single story” affect your understanding of the information on the fact sheets?  Further, how does “the single story” affect your understanding of the society/world in which you live?
