Module 10 Discussion

In this module, you've learned about the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) Center, an umbrella group of civil rights organizations that played a significant role in the American Civil Rights Movement.

After learning about issues and civil rights leaders with connections to activism at Jackson State University, share issues or causes that you passionate about.

Be sure to answer all three questions in your post: 

1. If you could change one thing about the JSU student experience, what would that be and why?
2. Who could you collaborate with to work towards changing the part of the JSU student experience you want to improve?
3. What resources do you need to collaborate with other students about the issue you want to change?

 

Suggested Methods for Discussion Responses

 When responding to your classmates' posts, you might:

• Offer an alternative yet valid response.
• Suggest a possible adjustment to your peer's response and share why you are suggesting the change.
• Provide an additional resource or information that supports your peer's post.
• Share an idea that you think might improve your peer's response.
• Share an experience that aligns (or doesn't align) with your peer's response.
• Ask a question to gain clarity.
• Ask a question that helps your peer expand on his or her idea.
• Play "devil's advocate" even if you do not necessarily agree with an alternative position, for the sake of debate or to further explore the topic.
