Community Presentation

I really enjoyed the activity that this group had us do in class. I liked that they didn't reveal what we were doing ahead of time. We spent most of the class period trying to create communities using the instructions the group gave us. Each group had a certain amount of money and were allowed to create their communities in different ways. Some groups faced challenges while one group, the "white wealthy" group did not seem to have any challenges. I liked the discussion afterwards, where we talked about challenges that non-dominant groups face in real communities. I would be hesitant to do this activity as we did it in a middle or high school. However, I would use this activity to discuss different characters' communities in a book. Overall, the group did a great job and I appreciated the presentation!
