Welcome!

Assignment: For our first activity today we're using the white boards in this room to explore issues that define the context for White Center and working families.

You will find a question written at the top of many of these boards:

Using the markers provided, please write a response to each question.

After you've written your response, explain it verbally to a minimum of one other person, and then listen to at least one other person's explanation of what they wrote in response to the same question. Please do this for each board.

Please don't go around the room with the same person - talk to a different person at each board.

After you've finished, help yourself to a cup of coffee and a snack, and take a seat.
