Response to Education

Watch the video give by Donovan Livingston for his graduation with Harvard University.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XGUpKITeJM

Write a personal response to his talk.
Do you make any personal connection to his words and/or see similar themes in Canadian education?  How do you think the residential school system is similar or different to the plight of African Americans and slavery?

Start with a story from your own school experience.  Be very detailed and include sensory descriptions- sounds, smells, sights, tastes, touch etc.
You might have a very positive experience from school and can contrast to the themes in Livingston's speech.  Or you might have had experiences that resonate with his speech.

Write at least 300 words. I will use the gov't marking rubric for your response.

25 marks
