Directions:

First, read your group member's memories of oppression, and have a conversation with eachother about how your particular group's rank manifests on our campus (Age,Disability, Race, Religious culture, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Social class culture, Indigenous Heritage, National Origin, Gender).

You did this one!!!!

Next, begin your research by looking through the Ebbtide  student newspaper archive. http://theebbtide.com/   and find further examples of problems happening on campus in your rank area. Share relevant articles on the group discussion board. Each group member must find one relevant article OR submit their own personal research to the group discussion board. Personal research can include interviews of professors, other students, or staff about problems happening on campus in your rank area.

After you have gathered background information as a group, you will write individual articles about your rank area for the Ebbtide student newspaper. Your article must include a minimum of one historical reference from the material we have covered in class.

Please write this story for a general audience--avoid using jargon that is specific to our class (for example, don't assume that readers will know what re-centering, the ranking system, or agents and targets are) instead of using jargon, your story should demonstrate your clear understanding of the concepts covered in our class through examples. 

As a guideline, your final article should be between 350 words or less. These are the Ebbtide guidelines for submissions. Keep it succinct so that you can actually submit it for printing! You are encouraged, but not required to  submit your creations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.  at the end of the quarter.
