ESL 192: Advanced Academic Reading & Writing 3 - Open For Antiracism (OFAR)

(View Complete Item Description)

This is an activity for Advanced ESL students that allows them to incorporate grammar and writing skills with a song, giving them an opportunity to use their voices to describe an authentic situation.  This was created as a Canvas Discussion Board Assignment, but it can easily be adapted for various other formats.The Open for Antiracism (OFAR) Program – co-led by CCCOER and College of the Canyons – emerged as a response to the growing awareness of structural racism in our educational systems and the realization that adoption of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy could be transformative at institutions seeking to improve. The program is designed to give participants a workshop experience where they can better understand anti-racist teaching and how the use of OER and open pedagogy can empower them to involve students in the co-creation of an anti-racist classroom. The capstone project involves developing an action plan for incorporating OER and open pedagogy into a course being taught in the spring semester. OFAR participants are invited to remix this template to design and share their projects and plans for moving this work forward.
