  16. Learning Goal: SWBAT Describe and illustrate the word “agency”. Vocabulary Lesson #2:Agency • This word has many different meanings. • It can be used as a noun as in “I have to go to the employment agency to try to get help finding a job.” or “I went to the modeling agency and gave them my headshots.” This is not the version of this word we will be working with in this unit!

  17. Think like Philosophers! The other way to use this word is very complicated and abstract. It’s okay if you don’t get it right away! We’ll keep talking about this word throughout the unit. • The way we’re going to talk about this word in this unit it in relation to power and control. • Agency is your power to control your own life or to define who you are and not to have others (either people or systems) control and define you. • Your agency or your group’s agency is always in tension, or in opposition to a structure, or boundaries that exist to control you to some extent. • To be an agent is to be a person/individual who owns his/her actions– to act knowingly and to take responsibility for actions. • If you don’t feel like you have agency then you feel like someone else has taken away your power. • Agency is very fluid from moment to moment, day to day. In some classrooms you might have more agency than in others. Learning Goal: SWBAT Describe and illustrate the word “agency”.

  18. Examples of Agency Learning Goal: SWBAT Describe and illustrate the word “agency”. • In the United States, the government and the white ruling majority attempted to strip African-Americans of their agency (ability to control and define their own lives) through restrictive Jim Crow laws. • The Civil Rights Movement is an example of a collective act of agency– of an attempt to reclaim control from a structure that tried to oppress them.

  19. More Examples of Agency Learning Goal: SWBAT Describe and illustrate the word “agency”. • Teenagers often feel like they are denied agency by adults (school, parents) who they think are trying to control them. Teenagers often feel like they need to resist or act out against these adults in order to claim their agency.
