Academic Exploration and Advising
- Election Curriculum: (Consider: Lesson 3: Verifying Social Media Claims)
- AntiRacist Ed @ the Met: Website (See Pre-Stamped Work) They sent out a very thorough Newsletter this week with more direction and information.
- Political Cartoons – There can be great discussions, and opportunites to talk about current issues quickly by dissecting and interrogating political cartoons. You can post one on a slide and have students comment on a padlet or jamboard. If you need an overview, try this slide deck. Here is another lesson plan overview for introducing how to interpret pcs and here is a 9 min Youtube introduction. Once you have the basics, you might review one a week or every couple weeks. This practice coincides with the election lesson on social media literacy.
Literacy
- Books with Brothers –
- Big Picture’s has had an initiative called Books with Brothers. Elevating voices of color with readings of diverse children’s books. Here is a link to the previous readings: https://www.bigpicture.org/apps/pages/bookswithbrothers
- These could be great advisory sessions, focused on a theme or breaks to be read to. They might be good to use for discussing imagery, key themes, or even to build a summary and identify main idea with textual supports.
- Our students interested in Education or in RIELDS might find this a particular good connection to their content as well.
- Teaching Tolerance is releasing a 12 min film on Monday October 5th for streaming called The Forgotten Slavery of Our Ancestors offers a critical contribution to the unfolding conversation about what our children need to learn about American history. The 12-minute film for grades 6-12 introduces students to the history of Indigenous enslavement on land that is now the United States.
Community Conversation & Reflections
- Check in on Classroom Norms: A Norms Review Process. Many groups set time in a meeting agenda to review their norms. Questions that encourage “tending to” group norms include:
- In what ways are our norms helping us “grow” our thinking?
- Should we change our norms in some way in order to help us better meet our goals?
- What norm(s) are we using well?
- What norm(s) seems difficult for us?
- What norm will I/we work on today?
