Mimi Silbert, Delancy Street Foundation Cyber-Assignment
Today we watched a segment of the New Heroes Series on Mimi Silbert. She is the founder and director of Delancy Street Foundation. Visit http://www.pbs.org/opb/thenewheroes/meet/silbert.html
If you like, use this program as one of the Frontline World posts.
We used the term "rehabilitation," from a list which included other terms such as: "homelessness," "mental illness," "poverty," "stigma," "ex-con," "felony conviction," and "recidivism," to develop four thesis sentences using Topical Invention.
Definition: Rehabilitation is the process of learning from one's mistakes through a tough love program like Mimi Silbert's Delancy Street Foundation.
Testimony: Mimi Silbert, Director, Delancy Street Foundation, says: "the ex-con has a little kid in them that wants to be good" (New Heroes).
Analogy: Rehabilitation is self-rejuvenating like a phoenix that gets a second chance at life.
Consequence: Rehabilitation is an opportunity for one to learn the error of his ways and try to make amends to society.
Homework: continue reading and working on identifying your Social Entrepreneur. Tomorrow we will watch another program and look at an article which is a model for this essay.
I also mentioned to students the LoveBalm Project as a potential field trip next month Nov. 17-19 at East Side Arts Cultural Center and at La Pena Cultural Center Nov. 30. See http://lovebalmformyspiritchild.tumblr.com/
