In your journals, please respond to the following prompt and then copy and paste your response here on the discussion board:

What resources from the website might you use with your students, and how might you use them? What other resources are you currently using in your classroom to address the core question posed in the introduction to this session: "How do we best engage our students around these issues?"

Please do not limit yourself to one response--read others' posts and respond to connections you find between the work you are doing and what your colleagues are doing.

 


 

Please make sure you have checked the "Mark as read" box at the top of this page. Then continue to the next activity: Session 4: Using the Resource Book in Your Classroom.

Resources

I would use the upstanders resources to get students researching one upstanders and participate in the same way for a day or a week and write a journal about their experience and what it felt to be an upstanders. Finding an important issue for students and using it to engage them is important, but there are many ways and as a teacher, I have to find the best way, which can differ for every class I have and the students in that class.
