Work time on group notes from Socratic Seminar--group notes due in class. I also collected your notes from the two articles you read to prep for the seminar. If you were gone, turn this in on Wednesday.

Warm-Up: Borderlines A borderline is a constructed line creating a boundary between two places, often between countries or states.

(Pick one of the following to respond to)

Are there borders or borderlines in Portland? Lincoln?

Even if this line is imaginary, what power does it have over a person or a group of people? Is this power good or bad? What conflicts might arise in finding oneself stuck on one side of a border, or between two places?

Do we need borders or borderlines? If so, why or why not?

Discussion
