The Exhaustion of Black Educators on Another "Day After"

 

Another day another mass shooting in the good ol' US and A.  Right to arm bears or something like that.  Yep when was that written in your Constitution, like 1400?  Guns were like muskets or sling shots or somehing.  Ya'll messed up.  Second Amendment, lol.  Anyways this is current events.  My daughter's boyfriend goes to University in Buffalo and she has been to that store so it is real for my white retired ass.  To read the article click here before I go off the rails.

NYT - What’s Going On in This Picture? | Feb. 28, 2022

Look closely at this image, stripped of its caption, and join the moderated conversation about what you and other students see.

1. After looking closely at the image above (or at the full-size image), think about these three questions:

What is going on in this picture?

What do you see that makes you say that?

What more can you find?

2. Next, join the conversation by clicking on the comment button and posting in the box that opens on the right. (Students 13 and older are invited to comment, although teachers of younger students are welcome to post what their students have to say.)

3. After you have posted, try reading back to see what others have said, then respond to someone else by posting another comment. Use the “Reply” button or the @ symbol to address that student directly.

Each Monday, our collaborator, Visual Thinking Strategies, will facilitate a discussion from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern time by paraphrasing comments and linking to responses to help students’ understanding go deeper. You might use their responses as models for your own.

4. On Thursday afternoons, we will reveal at the bottom of this post more information about the photo. How does reading the caption and learning its back story help you see the image differently?

What Do the People of Ukraine Want? Watch This Film.

After yesterdays incursion into Ukraine from Russia you know what is happening next.  If you are World Issues or Current Affairs teacher you might want to look into this.  From Diane Ravitch's blog "I just watched the film called WINTER OF FIRE, an amazing documentary about the Ukrainian uprising against the government in the winter of 2013-2014. It is streaming on Netflix.  It’s a story of patriotism and courage. You will see the incredible determination of the Ukrainian people to live lives of freedom and dignity.  I urge you to watch it. It shows up the bobble-head pundits who claim to have the inside track as fools."
