I need help with a English question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

As a reminder here is the list of materials, we covered for the week:

• Derek Turner | “Trauma: A Cancer in the Education System” (Stanford Graduate School of Business)
• Lemn Sissay | “A Child of the State” (TED)
• Malcolm London | “High School Training Ground” (TED)
• Malcolm X | “Learning to Read” (The Autobiography of Malcolm X)
• bell hooks | “Learning in the Shadow of Race and Class” (Acting Out Culture: Readings for Critical Inquiry)

• Terese Marie Mailhot | “1 Indian Condition” & “10 Indian Condition”
• AJ+ | “Missing, Murdered and Native”
• Girl Rising (2013) (Extra Credit)

After you have reviewed your notes/annotations on the videos and readings for this week, respond to the following questions:

1. How did you feel reading through this week’s articles? Were they easy or hard to read/watch? What did you like/dislike about them? What, if any, connections can you make between the experiences of the authors and speakers and your own experiences? (This answer should cover all sources for the week.)
2. Share at least three points that stood out to you from the materials this week?
3. What are at least three quotes from any of the sources that you connected with? Why do you feel it is significant? Why did you choose it?
4. What was your biggest A-HA moment or takeaway? (This can be from any of the sources or involve all of them.)

• Your initial response should be 150-300 words per question.
